Fetal thrombotic vasculopathy
Diagnosis in short

Fetal thrombotic vasculopathy. H&E stain.
Synonyms fibrinous vasculosis, fibromuscular sclerosis, fetal artery stem thrombosis
LM thrombus in the fetal vasculature +/- recanalization (eosinophilic (light pink on H&E), moderately granular intravascular material (fibrin) with layering), +/-clustered fibrotic villi without blood vessels (chronic)
Site placenta
Associated Dx fetal death, cerebral palsy
Clinical history +/-prothrombotic condition in mother
Prognosis dependent on severity and underlying cause

Fetal thrombotic vasculopathy, abbreviated FTV, is characterized by thrombi in the fetus. In the context of a placenta, it is thrombi in the fetal blood vessels of the placenta.

A large number of terms are used for this including:[1] fibrinous vasculosis, fibromuscular sclerosis and fetal artery stem thrombosis.

The multitude of terms reflects the confusion about this finding and that it has numerous etiologies.[1]

General

  • May cause IUGR.
  • Associated with cerebral palsy and common in perinatal deaths.[2]
  • Mother may have a prothrombotic condition.[3]

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • Thrombus in the fetal vasculature +/- recanalization.
    • Eosinophilic (light pink on H&E), moderately granular intravascular material (fibrin) with layering.
  • Clustered fibrotic villi without blood vessels - key feature.
    • This is a chronic change.
