REPORT OF TWO CASES OF ABNORMAL PREGNANCIES DUE TO CONFINED PLACENTAL MOSAICISM OF TRISOMY 16
Main Article Content
Abstract
From conception to delivery, the placenta plays a crucial intermediary role between the mother and the fetus. Numerous studies have highlighted the association between intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and placental chromosomal abnormalities, particularly confined placental mosaicism (CPM) of Trisomy 16. We report two cases of IUGR with non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) results suggestive of chromosomal abnormality 16, in which CPM of Trisomy 16 was subsequently confirmed. One pregnancy resulted in a live birth, while the other ended in an intrauterine fetal demise. Based on these cases, we recommend prenatal screening for chromosomal abnormality 16 to enable early detection and prognostication of placental abnormalities leading to IUGR
