Abstract

Bipartite placenta is a placenta with two roughly equal-sized lobed separated by a membrane. The umbilical cord mayinsert in either lobe, in velamentous fashion or in between the lobe. The pathogenesis of bipartite placenta is unclearbut advanced maternal age, history of infertility may include the risk factors. Here we presented a case of a primigravid patient who successfully delivered a healthy baby having a “bipartite placenta with battledoor cord insertion”without having any obstetrical complication. She was neither elderly primi nor suffered from subfertility.
