Pathophysiology
The amniotic sac consists of two membranes:
- The outer membrane, the chorion, contains the amnion and is part of the placenta.
- The inner membrane, the amnion, contains the amniotic fluid and the fetus.
Chorioamnionitis is an inflammation of the chorion and amnion. It is usually caused by a bacterial infection.
