Abstract :

 Aim and Objectives: To compare the thickness of tunica media of umbilical cord vessels in normal and PIH patients on histological basis. 1. To calculate thickness of tunica media of umbilical cord vessels in normal patients. 2. To calculate thickness of tunica media of umbilical cord vessels in PIH patients. 3.. Compare between thickness of tunica media in normal and PIH patients. Materials : The study sampled 30 normal placenta with umbilical cord and 30 placenta with umbilical cord from PIH patients are included in the study. Methods : After delivery, the umbilical cord with placenta were collected from labour room of MGM Hospital, Kalamboli, Navi Mumbai and fixed in 10% formalin solution. For Histology – Standard procedure was used and H & E stain was used. The thickness of tunica media was measured with micrometer eyepiece.
