Pregnancy outcome with coexisting mole after intracytoplasmic sperm injection: A case series

Asha R Rao et al. J Hum Reprod Sci. 2015 Jul-Sep.

Abstract

Partial/complete hydatidiform mole with coexisting fetus is a rare condition. Optimal management is a challenge that remains a dilemma since these pregnancies are associated with maternal as well as fetal complications including hemorrhage, preeclampsia, thromboembolic disease, intra uterine demise and increased risk of persistent trophoblastic disease. Here we report 2 cases of partial mole with live fetus after ICSI and a case of complete mole with coexisting fetus after ICSI in a turner mosaic that resulted in a live birth.

Keywords: Complete hydatidiform mole; intracytoplasmic sperm injection; partial mole; twin pregnancy.
