What does funisitis mean?

Funisitis is a mild inflammation of the umbilical stump with minimal drainage and erythema in the surrounding tissue.

What does acute funisitis mean?

If the inflammatory process involves the umbilical cord (umbilical vein, umbilical artery, and the Wharton’s jelly), this is referred to as acute funisitis, the histologic counterpart of the fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS; Figure 1).

What is chorioamnionitis mean?

Chorioamnionitis is an infection of the placenta and the amniotic fluid. It happens more often when the amniotic sac is broken for a long time before birth. The major symptom is fever. Other symptoms include a fast heart rate, sore or painful uterus, and amniotic fluid that smells bad.

What is Subchorionitis?

Maternal Inflammatory Response (MIR) MIR is staged as subchorionitis (Stage 1) when neutrophils congregate at the border between the subchorionic fibrin and chorion in the chorionic plate or between the cellular and fibrous chorion in the extraplacental membranes.

What is chronic Villitis?

Chronic villitis is the classic chronic inflammatory lesion of the placenta characterized by the presence of chronic inflammatory cells infiltrating the chorionic villi leading to villous agglutination and ultimately loss of placental function.

What is acute chorioamnionitis and funisitis?

Chorioamnionitis and funisitis are defined histologically as acute inflammatory responses in the fetal membranes and umbilical cord respectively.

What causes chronic Villitis?

Villitis is associated with placental infections and therefore should be considered when any of the following conditions are present: CMV, chorioamnionitis, candida, HSV, group B streptococcus, group A streptococcus, syphilis, toxoplasmosis and chlamydia.

What is chronic Deciduitis?

Chronic deciduitis consists of the presence of lymphocytes or plasma cells in the basal plate of the placenta. This lesion is more common in pregnancies that result from egg donation and has been reported in a subset of patients with premature labor.

What is chorioamnionitis and funisitis?

While acute chorioamnionitis is evidence of a maternal host response, funisitis and chorionic vasculitis represent fetal inflammatory responses.

How long can the baby stay in after water breaks?

In cases where your baby would be premature, they may survive just fine for weeks with proper monitoring and treatment, usually in a hospital setting. In cases where your baby is at least 37 weeks, current research suggests that it may be safe to wait 48 hours (and sometimes longer) for labor to start on its own.

What is Accreta?

Placenta accreta is a serious pregnancy condition that occurs when the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall. Typically, the placenta detaches from the uterine wall after childbirth. With placenta accreta, part or all of the placenta remains attached. This can cause severe blood loss after delivery.

What is fetal vascular Malperfusion?

Fetal vascular malperfusion is the most recent term applied to a group of placental lesions indicating reduced or absent perfusion of the villous parenchyma by the fetus. The most common etiology of malperfusion is umbilical cord obstruction leading to stasis, ischemia, and in some cases thrombosis.
