What are some Common Pathologies Involving the Decidua Capsularis?
Several pathologies can affect the decidua capsularis, impacting pregnancy outcomes. One such condition is a molar pregnancy, where abnormal growth of trophoblastic tissue occurs, leading to the formation of a hydatidiform mole. Another condition is ectopic pregnancy, where the embryo implants outside the uterine cavity, usually in the fallopian tubes, resulting in the absence of a well-formed decidua capsularis. Infections, such as chorioamnionitis, can also compromise the integrity and function of the decidua capsularis.
