Abstract

A normally functioning placenta is critical for normal fetal growth and development. The size of placenta increases during fetal growth to allow it to do its vital functions. Thus, a normal development of placenta is important for an uneventful embryonic and fetal development. The case described here is a case of aneuploidy of chromosomes 13,16, 21, and 22 diagnosed due to the detection of increased placental thickness.
