Management of Placenta Circumvallata with Associated Placental Abnormalities

Special Considerations for Placental Abnormalities

• If other placental abnormalities are present, such as placenta previa or placenta accreta spectrum, management should follow the guidelines for those conditions, as recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists 1, 2

Delivery Planning for Placental Abnormalities

• Unlike placenta accreta spectrum, which requires careful multidisciplinary planning and potential cesarean hysterectomy, circumvallate placenta does not necessitate specialized delivery planning, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists 1, 3

Common Pitfalls and Caveats in Placental Abnormality Management

• Avoid confusing circumvallate placenta with more serious placental abnormalities such as placenta accreta spectrum or placenta previa, which do require specialized management, as advised by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists 1, 2
