Placenta cord arteries abnormality

(a). Low power photomicrograph of section of umbilical cord showing superficial location of the umbilical artery (top) with absence of overlying Wharton’s jelly, attenuated vascular media, and degeneration of the amnion. This is in contrast to the umbilical vein (lower left) and other umbilical artery (lower right) both of which were completely surrounded by Wharton’s jelly and amnion (complete views not in the field). H &E, X 20. (b). High power photomicrograph of ulcerated umbilical artery demonstrating markedly thinned media, absent Wharton’s jelly, and degeneration of the overlying amnion. H &E, X 200.
