Abstract
Chorioangiomas are benign [human] placental tumors, derived from fetal vessels, that occur with a frequency of approximately 1%. Often they are associated with hydramnios and intrauterine fetal death. Based on a case of multiple chorioangiomas with a fatal course for the baby, aspects of the pathogenesis of hydramnios are discussed. Future development in ultrasound technology may facilitate antenatal diagnosis.
