Hydropic degeneration of the placenta is a phenomenon where numerous cystic spaces are formed within the placenta which is often accompanied by placental enlargement. It can occur in a number of situations which include
- simple hydropic degeneration in 1st trimester pregnancy loss - fetal demise
- gestational trophoblastic disease - particularly partial mole
- triploidy - paternal triploidy
- Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome
