Result(s): among 50 placentas studied, we found that infarction present in 16(59.3%) cases of mild hypertension, 10(62.5%) cases of severe hypertension and 7 (100.0%) cases of eclampsia. Calcification was found in 9(33.3%) cases of mild hypertension, 12(75.0%) cases of severe hypertension and 7(100.0%) cases of eclampsia.
