What exactly is placental calcification?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be normal.: The older (i.e. Close to their delivery date) placentas frequently have depositions of calcium in them, which are of no clinical significance. Pathological placental calcifications can occur with torch infections of the fetus.
