Περίληψη:
Abnormal intraplacental hypervascularity is a well-known MRI feature of Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS), but the precise nature of these vessels has not yet been specified. Histopathological examination of eleven PAS-hysterectomy specimens and subsequent review of the corresponding MRIs, revealed the presence of large fetal vascular trunks extending deep towards the placental periphery and demonstrating deficient branching along their course (‘stripped-fetal-vessel’ sign). To our knowledge, this is the first report to describe the pattern of abnormal fetal vasculature in correlation with MRI in PAS. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd
