Placental Massive Perivillous Fibrinoid Deposition Associated with Coxsackievirus A16—Report of a Case, and Review of the Literature

Massive placental perivillous fibrinoid deposition in the placenta is thought to be an immune-related condition associated with poor perinatal outcomes, including growth restriction and intrauterine fetal demise, with a high risk of recurrence. Rare cases have been associated with Coxsackievirus infection. We present such a case and review the literature.
