Abstract

Molar pregnancy is formed as a result of divergent fertilization process that leads to production of atypical tissue
within the uterus. It categorized in two groups: partial and complete.
Complete mole involves absence of the embryo, where partial mole demonstrates presence of fetal parts. Molar
pregnancy does not result in viable fetus, early detection and treatment is essential for positive outcome.
Patient has presented with typical signs and symptoms for molar pregnancy including vaginal spotting with dark
brown grape like substance, law hemoglobin, fundal height greater then expected (as for gestational age), nausea and vomiting.
Molar pregnancies usually present with painless vaginal bleeding in the fourth to fifth months of
pregnancy.[3] The uterus may be larger than expected, or the ovaries may be enlarged. There may also be more vomiting than
would be expected (hyperemesis). Sometimes there is an increase in blood pressure along with protein in the urine. Blood tests
will show very high levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
