  • Title: Hydatid mole with a coexisting pregnancy.
    Author: Urbanski TK, Higgins PG, Murray ML, Joffe G.
    Journal: J Perinatol; 1996; 16(6):478-80. PubMed ID: 8979188.
    Abstract:
    Hydatid mole with a coexisting pregnancy is rare and presents a high risk for maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. A case of hydatid mole with coexisting pregnancy that progressed to 24 weeks' gestation is presented. Maternal religious beliefs regarding pregnancy termination affected the medical plan of care. Although the woman was aware of the potential complications, pregnancy termination and karyotype testing were refused. Because of uncontrollable hemorrhage, a cesarean delivery was done. The genotypically normal fetus died 10 hours after birth. After delivery, preeclampsia, pulmonary edema, and renal failure developed in the woman, which resolved within 4 days.
