📋Overview
Abruptio placentae, also known as placental abruption, occurs when the placenta separates from the inner wall of the uterus before birth. This premature detachment can disrupt the essential transfer of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus and may lead to clinical bleeding for the mother.
This condition typically develops suddenly and is most frequently observed during the third trimester of pregnancy. The clinical significance of the separation is characterized by the extent of the detachment and its effect on the intrauterine environment.
