What is chorioamniotic separation?

Chorioamniotic separation refers to the detachment of the chorion, the outer fetal membrane, from the amniotic sac, which can pose risks during pregnancy. This condition can lead to complications such as premature rupture of membranes, increased risk of infection, and potential adverse effects on fetal development. It is typically diagnosed through ultrasound imaging. Management depends on the severity and gestational age, often involving close monitoring.
