Placental Chorangiosis is a rare placental vascular pathology that is associated with prolonged hypoperfusion or tissue hypoxemia. It renders a challenge to obstetrician with their potential critical complications altering feto-maternal outcome. The clinopathological features are presented of pregnancy where placenta histologically showed diffuse severe Chorangiosis. The latter is reported placental vascular anomaly, with recent studies have indicated to be an important sign of neonatal morbidity and mortality. The differential diagnosis, clinical effects are discussed. Keywords: placental Chorangiosis, feto-maternal outcome. 1. Altshuler G.
