Case Discussion
Case shows placental morphological variation - circumvallate placenta. It shows rolled up / uplifted placental edge. It is called as complete circumvallate placenta if 100 % ( 360 degree ) of placental circumference involved. If it is less than that; it is called as partial circumvallate placenta.
