Examination of placentas from newborns with single umbilical artery (SUA) can furnish valuable data to Perinatologists. Thus, 33.3% of the SUA newborns with gross macroscopic alterations of the placenta were malformed. In the other hand, 75% of the malformed SUA newborns had gross placental alterations. It is pointed out the importance of examination of the placenta, even at unaided eye, as a tool to prevent the Perinatologist in search of probable malformations (both apparent or occult).
对单脐动脉（SUA）新生儿的胎盘进行检查可为围产医学专家提供有价值的数据。因此，胎盘有明显宏观改变的SUA新生儿中，33.3%存在畸形。另一方面，畸形的SUA新生儿中有75%胎盘有明显改变。强调了胎盘检查的重要性，即使是肉眼检查，作为围产医学专家寻找可能畸形（明显或隐匿）的一种工具。
