ABSTRACT
Biopsies of the placental bed have been taken from 36 patients. Histological examination has been carried out with particular reference to pathological changes in the maternal vessels and these changes have been related to the clinical histories of the patients. Vascular lesions have been found in material obtained from hypertensive and from toxaemic women. These changes are in no way distinguishable from those generally acknowledged to occur as a result of systemic hypertension. They are directly related in extent to the clinical severity of the disease. No such changes have been found in normal patients. Apart from differences of degree, the vessel changes in essential hypertension and pre-eclampsia appear identical. They are thought to be due to hypertension (AU)
