Placental Abruption (Abruptio Placenta) and Cerebral Palsy
Placental abruption (abruptio placenta) is a serious complication during pregnancy. A placental abruption occurs when the placenta separates from the uterine wall. A placental abruption puts both the mother and child in danger and requires immediate medical attention as it can deprive the child of oxygen and cause severe bleeding in the mother. Oxygen depravation can lead to Cerebral Palsy and other neurological disorders in the child.
If you have suffered a placental abruption and you or you child has been injured as a result it is likely that your doctor or hospital was negligent and the injury could have been prevented.
