  • Title: [Subacute pre-eclampsia and hydramnios as manifestation of fetal triploidy. In utero diagnosis in the 28th week].
    Author: Dognin C, Monnier JC, Lanciaux B, Savary JB, Deminatti M, Gosselin B.

    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of triploidy that was diagnosed in utero by amniocentesis at the 28th week of amenorrhoea which presented with a classical picture of sub-acute hydramnios and pre-eclampsia and a dermoid cyst in the pelvis below the uterus. This case has given us a chance of showing the clinical evolution that led us to carry out amniocentesis and make the diagnosis of triploidy. A review of the literature gives us the chance of showing the incidence of triploidy and its genetic origin and the characteristics that this chromosome abnormality produces. The value of the study is to show the differences that exist between this condition and partial molar triploidy demonstrating the anatomo-pathological, genetic and developmental changes that can be recognized. The conclusion that this article reaches could be that the term "triploid embryonic mole" should be abandoned because it brings under one heading two quite different pictures.
