Quick Summary:

Basic information on Accessory Lobe of Placenta is as follows:

  • The placenta is an organ that connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall. It is a disc shaped reddish brown structure that connects the fetus to the mother through the umbilical cord. The umbilical cord contains two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein
  • The normal function of placenta is to supply nutrients and oxygen to the fetus from the mother’s blood and remove wastes from the fetal body
  • An Accessory Lobe of Placenta is a variation in the normal shape of the placenta. It is a small lobe of the placenta attached to the main disc through blood vessels. There can be one or more accessory lobes attached to the main placenta
  • A routine abdominal ultrasound scan during pregnancy can help establish the presence of an Accessory Lobe of Placenta
  • The condition is not associated with an increased risk of fetal anomalies and there are no specific signs and symptoms observed with it. However, there may be an increased risk of bleeding after delivery
  • With proper ante-natal care and appropriate management during delivery, the associated prognosis is excellent
