Abstract

Identification of chorionic villi in spiral arterioles and later in maternal circulation is known as maternal microchimerism. Distant consequences of this condition are unclear associated mainly with risk from autoimmune diseases. Our presentation is aiming at introducing the term microchimerism and to propose a connection between this phenomenon and the reasons for the death of the fetus.
