Ovarian Insufficiency: Complications

The following are the major conditions or complications that may be contributed to by placental insufficiency (placental insufficiency):

Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P00-P96).

  • Maternal care for fetal growth retardation (abnormal fetal growth retardation; fetal growth restriction).
  • Child to
    • Small for gestational age/pregnancy age [Small-for-dates/child too small for gestational age].

  • Harm to the fetus and newborn caused by.
    • Umbilical cord prolapse
    • Placenta praevia (malposition of the placenta (placenta); it is nested near the cervix and covers all or part of the birth canal)
    • Other forms of
      • Umbilical cord compression including: Umbilical cord (tight) around the neck, umbilical cord knot, umbilical cord entanglement.
      • Placental abruption and hemorrhage (abruptio placentae/preterm placental abruption, accidental (“incidental”) hemorrhage, maternal blood loss, prepartum (before birth) hemorrhage)
    • Other and unspecified conditions of the umbilical cord incl.: Vasa praevia, umbilical cord too short.

Pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium (O00-O99).

  • Abnormal ultrasound findings during prenatal screening examination.
  • Care of the mother at
    • In case of (suspected) anomaly or damage to the fetus, unspecified.
    • Established or suspected anomaly or damage to the fetus.
  • Care of the mother because of:
    • Signs of fetal hypoxia (fetal undersupply of oxygen).
    • Fetal growth retardation (fetal growth retardation; fetal growth restriction) due to placental insufficiency:
      • Early growth retardation before 34 weeks of gestation.
      • Late growth retardation; prevalence of 3-5% (more common than early growth retardation); definition:
        • Growth below 3rd percentile and estimated weight below 10th percentile and presence of at least one of the following additional Doppler criteria:
          • Increased resistance in the umbilical artery and/or.
          • Increased resistance in the uterine arteriae and/or
          • Reduced cerebroplacental ratio (CPR).
    • Intrauterine amniotic death (stillbirth).
    • Complication of the fetus, unspecified
    • Other noted or suspected complication in the fetus.
    • Growth retardation incl.: Maternal care for identified or suspected fetal retardation: placental insufficiency, too small for gestational age [small-for-dates], too light for gestational age [light-for-dates].
  • Consequences of obstetric surgeries (sectio (cesarean section), vacuum (suction cup), forceps) with the indication of placental insufficiency.
    • Pelvic hematoma during childbirth incl.: Hematoma (bruise) under birth: perineum (perineum), vagina (vagina), vulva (externally visible area of the vagina).
    • Perineal tear during childbirth including episiotomy (perineal incision) with subsequent tearing on.
      • 1st degree incl.injury, rupture or tear of the perineum with involvement of frenulum labiorum pudendi (posterior sharp-edged skin fold, as a connection of the labia minora damma), skin, labia, vagina, vulva, periurethral (“around the urethra”) tissue
      • 2nd degree additionally injury to the pelvic floor, perineal muscles, vaginal muscles.
      • 3rd degree additionally injury of septum rectovaginale (thin connective tissue partition (septum) between the vagina (vagina) and the rectum (rectum)), sphincter ani (sphincter).
      • 4th degree additional injury to anal mucosa (anus), rectal mucosa (rectum).
    • High vaginal laceration during childbirth
    • Infection of the wound after surgical obstetric intervention including perineal suture, incisional delivery wound.
    • Puerperal fever incl. endometritis (inflammation of the uterus), peritonitis (peritonitis), sepsis (blood poisoning).
    • Uterine rupture:
      • Before the onset of labor
      • During birth
    • Postpartum complications
      • Dehiscence (pulling apart) of a
        • Incisional dehiscence wound
        • Obstetric perineal wound including perineal tear, episiotomy, secondary perineal tear.
      • Hematoma (bruise) of an obstetric wound.
    • Injury during childbirth
      • Unspecified
      • Other injury to pelvic organs during childbirth incl. urinary bladder, urethra
  • Maternal hypotension syndrome incl.: Vena cava compression syndrome (synonym: hypotensive syndrome) – pregnancy complication caused by a circulatory disorder of the mother due to pressure of the child in utero on the inferior vena cava with obstruction of blood flow to the heart.
  • Intrapartum (“during childbirth”) hemorrhage
    • In the case of coagulation disorder
    • Unspecified
  • Complications of labor and delivery due to
    • Abnormal fetal heart rate incl: fetal bradycardia (heart rate: 100 to 110 beats/min for more than 3 minutes), fetal tachycardia (mild fetal tachycardia: 150 to 170 beats/min for more than 10 minutes; severe fetal tachycardia: Rate greater than 170 beats/min), irregular heart rate.
    • Fetal disstress (intrauterine hypoxia/lack of oxygen to the infant; fetal distress),
      • Detected by other examination methods incl.: Detection of fetal disstress by: Electrocardiogram, ultrasound
      • Not specified
    • Intrapartum (“during childbirth”) hemorrhage, not elsewhere classified.
  • Oligohydramnios incl.: Oligohydramnios (amniotic fluid < 500 ml) without indication of rupture of the membranes.
  • Pathological condition of the placenta, unspecified.

    • Descensus (uterine prolapse).
      • Descensus uteri et vaginae (uterine and vaginal descent).
