Chorangiosis is a placental vascular abnormality characterized by excessive capillarization in terminal chorionic villi, often associated with chronic placental hypoxia. It is observed in 5%–7% of placentas from neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units and correlates with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. We report a case of a chorangiosis of the placenta revealed in an 18-year-old primigravida who presented with moderate anemia, fetal growth restriction, oligohydramnios, and underwent elective cesarean section at 36 + 5 weeks. Chorangiosis has been linked to adverse outcomes, including stillbirth and maternal morbidity. This case highlights the importance of considering chorangiosis in the differential diagnosis of placental lesions with atypical ultrasound features. Early recognition, close fetal surveillance, and timely delivery are crucial for optimizing perinatal outcomes in such scenarios.
