[Acute-placental dysfunction by villous-maturation defect and late-fetal mortality].

Introduction: The placental histological examination is essential in the assessment of stillbirths, especially those of third trimester, which are often of placental origin by chronic placental dysfunction and sometimes by acute dysfunction. The physiopathogenesis of the latter remains obscure.

Material And Method: Three stillbirths, one per partum and two after 38 and 39 weeks gestation, caused by acute-placental dysfunction by villous maturation defect were studied.

[The association of Recklinghausen's disease and pregnancy. Report of 6 cases].

Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis is a phacomatosis with dominant autosomal transmission and variable expression. The authors propose an analysis of six cases of Recklinghausen's disease associated to the pregnancy. From these observations and review of the literature, they release the particularities of this association.
