Partial molar pregnancy with coexisting fetus is a rare complication of pregnancy and carries significant risks to both the mother and the fetus. Maternal risks include abnormal bleeding and the development of preeclampsia. The fetus frequently develops abnormally, often due to abnormal karyotype. This case presents a woman with a partial molar pregnancy with coexisting fetus, including diagnosis, plan of care, and delivery information.
Patients with an imperforate transverse vaginal septum typically present in adolescence with primary amenorrhea and require surgical correction. Pregnancy in these women is associated with a high spontaneous abortion rate, but no association with incompetent cervix has been reported. We describe a patient with a high transverse vaginal septum and a short cervix requiring transabdominal cerclage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
