REIS-DE-CARVALHO, Catarina; AFONSO, Maria Carvalho  and  LOUREIRO, Teresa. Prenatal diagnosis of a subchorionic placental cyst conditioning fetal growth restriction. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.3, pp.298-300.  Epub Sep 30, 2021. ISSN 1646-5830.

The authors present a case of subchorionic placental cysts associated with fetal growth restriction and intracystic hemorrhage in the third trimester. In general, placental surface cysts are small and remain uneventful during pregnancy. However, larger cysts and cysts near the umbilical cord may be associated with adverse neonatal outcomes. It is therefore essential to recognize situations that may require an individualized approach.
