Abstract

Background: Placenta is an extremely important organ, which provides vital support to the fetus during gestation. It has significant nutrition, endocrine, metabolic and immunological support. Placenta has a direct role in modulating the maternal environment for normal fetal development. Method: Fifty Antenatal womens each of from eleven week to forty week considered in this study. The study was carried out in the Departments of Gynecology and Radiology. Results: Fifty antenatal patients age from 18 -39 were included in this study. Out of 50 antenatal womens studies, 16, Fundal anterior, 15 fundal posterior, 6 anterior wall, 7 posterior wall, 6 lateral wall were seen. Placental thickness were raised with each week of gestation. In Correlation between gestation age & placental thickness were significant in 11-35 week and no significance occur in >35 weeks. Conclusion: This study conclude that, the thickness of placenta by solography in singleton pregnancies can be used as an additional tool in the assessment of gestational age because of its linear correlation with gestational age.
