Introduction: Maternal infections can affect the placenta, which acts as a fetomaternal barrier. This study aimed to determine the spectrum of morphologic alterations in the placentas of pregnancies complicated by SARS-CoV-2 infection and the impact on fetal or neonatal outcomes.
Materials And Methods: This is a prospective case-control study.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to estimate the rates and risks of early and late-onset preeclampsia (PE) in pregnant women with COVID-19 and explore how the severity of COVID-19 affects these risks.
- Among the 1,929 pregnant women studied, the incidence of early and late-onset PE was found to be 11.4% and 5.6%, respectively.
- Women with moderate to severe COVID-19 had an eightfold increased risk of early-onset PE compared to those without symptoms.
Background: Congenital cervicovaginal agenesis (CVA) with functioning endometrium is an extremely rare mullerian anomaly.

It has various differential diagnoses on gross and microscopic examination. A delay in the identification and management of this condition may lead to life-threatening complications.
