OC12.01: Can ultrasound do distinguished diagnosis between complete and partial hydatidiform mole with coexistent fetus?

Twin pregnancy with hydatidiform mole and a coexistent live fetus

with a normal fetus and placenta. Twin pregnancies with partial hydatidiform mole coexisting with a live fetus are rarely reported, since fetuses identified with partial mole are generally triploid and tend to die in the first trimester.1,3,4 Hydatidiform mole with live fetus is associated with the risk of many maternal and fetal complications such as vaginal bleeding, preeclampsia, thromboembo...

Twin pregnancy with complete hydatidiform mole and coexistent foetus.

Hydatidiform mole coexistent with a twin live fetus: a national collaborative study in Japan.

A national collaborative study was conducted in Japan to evaluate the clinical course and the sequelae of patients with hydatidiform mole coexistent with twin live fetus (HMTF). Seventy-two cases of HMTF were diagnosed based on gross appearance and histopathological criteria. In 18 cases, the molar parts were cytogenetically confirmed to be of androgenetic origin (complete mole). The overall in...

Hydatidiform mole with coexistent viable fetus detected by routine AFP screening.

reported to cause muscle fibre necrosis,2 and magnesium was not given to our patient during his fast. Likewise vitamin E deficiency is described as a cause of obscure proximal myopathy3 and the serum concentration of this vitamin fell just below normal (14 ,umol/l; normal range 16 3-30 7 sLmol/l) by the end of the fast. The fact that a clinically evident myopathy did not appear until seven week...

Recurrent partial hydatidiform mole.

Hydatidiform moles are abnormal conceptions characterised by atypical hyperplastic trophoblasts and hydropic villi. Their incidence is approximately 1 in 1000 pregnancies. The recurrence risk of hydatidiform mole is approximately 1 in 60 in a subsequent pregnancy and 1 in 6.5 in the third pregnancy. In cases with recurrence, the majority of moles are of the same type as that in the preceding pr...
