Chronic histiocytic intervillositis (CHI): an under-recognised condition with potential serious sequelae in pregnancy.
BMJ Case Reports 2021 April 14
Chronic histiocytic intervillositis (CHI) is a rare placental disorder associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and high recurrence rates in subsequent pregnancies. We discuss a case of CHI diagnosed incidentally in a young primigravida who presented with a first trimester miscarriage. CHI is usually diagnosed after an adverse pregnancy outcome by microscopic placental histopathology. Currently, CHI is a poorly understood condition by clinicians in many aspects, including its aetiology and subsequent management of patients in their future pregnancies. This is due to the lack of awareness and underdiagnosis of CHI among general pathologists and obstetricians. The authors would like to highlight this interesting case to encourage more research on CHI to understand its pathophysiology and optimal management better. Clinicians should also focus on providing holistic care to this group of patients by considering the impact of adverse pregnancy outcomes on their emotional well-being.
