The text deals with morphometric examinations of histological specimen of cervical and corporal parts of the uterus in puberty, pregnancy and menopause. The results show the different relations between muscular and connective tissue elements in corpus and cervix and point to significant differences in the composition of specific layers of uterine wall.
A total of 10 placentas was examined morphometrically following fetal death in utero. In 8 placentas a reduced fetal vascular surface could be observed. In 2 cases the cause of death could be revealed neither clinically nor patho-anatomically, while morphometric investigations demonstrated considerable restrictions of the vascular surface of the villi. In addition to the usual histological placental diagnostics, the morphometric assessment of placentas is recommended.
The relative fetal vascular surface established morphometrically in 22 gestosis placentas was clearly decreased compared to normal placentas. An accordance between the result of the DHEA-S-tolerance test and the relative fetal vascular surface was demonstrable in parts only. On the other hand, we, too, are able to confirm the results described in the literature that the restrictions of the fetal vascular surface correlate with the increase of the gestosis index.

On the basis of examination results in a total of 21 women with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) the half-life of the inflow phase (as a reference parameter of nuclear medical placental flow measurement) and the birthweight were correlated with the findings in corresponding patients with complication-free pregnancies. The half-life was found to be significantly increased in cases of PIH, indicating a decrease in placental blood flow. The birthweight of newborns of women with PIH was statistically significantly lower than in the control group. The results obtained are discussed with reference to the literature.
