Abstract
This article provides an understanding of the location of the uterine structure and the disease of vesicular drift. Information about the methods of examining this disease by ultrasound is provided. It is a disease of the fetal egg, in which the structure of the chorionic villi changes. Before the disease, the villi, which were thin and uniform in thickness, turn into a cord-like stalk as soon as vesicular drift begins. These stalks are located like grape clusters and are surrounded by bubbles filled with clear fluid. The deterioration and change in the quality of the villi is caused by the transformation of its stroma into a liquid mass and the thickening of the villous epithelium. As a result of the thickening of the epithelium, the chorionic villi, which have changed, sometimes penetrate from the decidual layer into the uterine muscle layer, and even enter the abdominal cavity by eroding the uterine walls.
