Abstract
Chorioamnionitis has been related to unfavorable outcomes in the prenatal and neonatal period (abortions, preterm delivery, neonatal sepsis, among others), as well as long-term implications in childhood, such as changes in IQ. For this reason, timely histopathological diagnosis is of vital importance. In this article, the histopathological approach to chorioamnionitis, its staging and clinical implications will be reviewed.
