Maternal floor infarction is an important cause of adverse fetal outcomes and tends to recur in subsequent pregnancies.
Alerts clinicians to recurrence risk in future pregnancies; leaves open need for prospective studies on prevention.
Maternal floor infarction, also known as massive diffuse perivillous fibrin deposition, is an uncommon, idiopathic placental disorder with characteristic macroscopic and histologic findings. It is an important cause of adverse outcome in the fetus, including intrauterine growth restriction, premature delivery, fetal death, and neurologic injury. Recognition of this entity is important clinically due to its significant perinatal morbidity and its tendency to recur in subsequent pregnancies.
