Twin pregnancy with both complete hydatiform mole and coexistent alive fetus: case report

Publication date: Available online 6 August 2015 Source:Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction Author(s): Achour Radhouane, Ben Aissa Imen, N.E.J.I. Khaled Twin pregnancy consisting of a complete hydatidiform mole coexisting with a live fetus is a rare condition with an incidence of 1 in 22 000 to 1 in 1 00 000 pregnancies. Clinical information is limited and management is difficult due to the risk of pregnancy complications such as fetal death, vaginal bleeding, preeclampsia, hyperthyroidism, and the risk of persistent gestational trophoblastic disease. Thus, the report described about the change of size and implantation site of the molar mass coexisting with a live fetus is rare especially about sonographic findings such as echo patterns. Recently we experienced a case of complete hydatidiform mole with a healthy infant delivered at term.
