Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate placental morphology in SGA and AGA neonates with using of the macroscopic and microscopic finding of the placenta, membranes, and cord. Methods: This analytic casecontrol study was performed from 2016 to 2017 years, between Obstetrics and Gynecology and pathology departments of Ahvaz Imam Khomeini Hospital. Thirty placentas of SGA infants and 30 placenta of AGA infants were examined for pathologies. The obtained placentas were macroscopically examined after removal of extra vessels and isolation of membrane. The histological microscopic examination was taken by an expert pathologist who didn't know the classification of the placentas. Data analysis was performed using SPSS ver.23 (SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL, USA).
