Placental insufficiency is a condition where the placenta fails to deliver adequate oxygen and nutrients to the developing fetus, potentially leading to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and other complications. This condition is clinically significant as it can result in adverse outcomes such as preterm birth, stillbirth, or long-term developmental issues. A key association is with maternal conditions like hypertension or diabetes, which can exacerbate placental dysfunction.
