Resumo
Objectives: to describe possible placental anatomopathological
alterations associated to fetal
hypoxia as evaluated by the Apgar score.
Methods: one hundred sixty seven placentas of
children delivered at the Hospital Escola da
Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro, Uberaba
city were analyzed both macro and microscopically;
their clinical records were reviewed as well. Apgar
Scores below 7 were considered consistent with fetal
hypoxia.
Results: placental alterations compatible with
inflammatory infiltrate and arterial hypertension
were found. The latter was more often diagnosed in
fetuses with 5 minutes Apgar scores below 7
(p=0.017).
Conclusions: there may be a relationship between
placental alterations and fetal hypoxia as diagnosed
by the Apgar score. Therefore, the exam of the
placenta by the pathologist could be a mean to elucidate
a plausible cause of clinically undetected perinatal
hypoxia.
