Placental villous immaturity, abbreviated PVI, is a relatively common pathology of the placenta.
It is also known as distal villous immaturity, villous immaturity, and villous dysmaturity.[1]
General
Associated with:
- Diabetes mellitus.[2]
- Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.
- Intrauterine fetal demise near term.[3]
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Increased numbers of (immature) intermediate villi (in relation to the gestational age) with:
- Increased number of capillaries.
- Edema.
- Macrophages.
- Large diffusion distance (vessel-to-villous surface distance large).
- Less (mature) terminal villi.[4]

Large placenta and gestational age not provided
PLACENTA, UMBILICAL CORD AND FETAL MEMBRANES, BIRTH: - LARGE PLACENTA (650 GRAMS -- TRIMMED, POST-FIXATION WEIGHT) WITH IMMATURE VILLI AND VILLOUS EDEMA, SEE COMMENT. - THREE VESSEL UMBILICAL CORD WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. - FETAL MEMBRANES WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. COMMENT: The findings are suggestive of placental villous immaturity.
