The Pathology of the Human Placenta - Tapa dura

This book is both a treatment of the normal development, anatomy and histology of the human placenta and a comprehensive examination of pathological conditions. It is primarily intended to serve as a guide and reference work for the practicing pathologist and the obstetrician. The second edition has been updated to reflect recent advances, especially those made in fetal medicine and perinatology. Many aspects of the prevailing legal climate dealing with the relation between the placenta and perinatal damage are discussed. In addition, a chapter on normal anatomy has been added.
