Abstract
Background: An unusual manifestation of prenatal trophoblastic illness is a twin molar pregnancy with a live foetus and a hydatidiform mole. Due to increased ovulation stimulation, this unusual scenario is rising. Most hydatidiform moles are complete with a foetus, while 0.005 to 0.01% of gestations have a partial mole. This report examined the clinical appearance and outcome of live foetuses with molar pregnancies. Methods: This study was done at Adiwaniyah, where the Maternity and Pediatrics Teaching Hospital has one obstetrics centre. The researcher reviewed 20 years of obstetric reports and found 12 cases of hydatiform mole pregnancies with ultrasound reports and/or post-partum examination of the product of gestation indicating twin pregnancy with a single viable foetus. Results: The average age was 27.00 ±6.87 years, with a range of 18-37 years. The parity breakdown was 8 (66.7%) primiparous and 4 (33.3%) multiparous. The average gestational age upon diagnosis was 19.50 ±3.09 weeks, ranging from 15 to 25 weeks. The average gestational age at delivery commencement was 26.67 ±7.09 weeks, with a range of 17-35 weeks. Seven (58.3%) amniocentesis were normal. Maternal complications included bleeding, anemia, blood transfusion, threatening miscarriage, and pre-eclampsia. End-of-gestation outcomes comprised 5 (41.7%) living and healthy newborns and 3 (25.0%) dead babies. There were 5 (41.7%) men and 2 (16.7%) women. Also reported: miscarriage, premature labour, and caesarean sections. Conclusion: Twin pregnancy with a live viable foetus and a molar pregnancy is rare, hence early detection and care are crucial to prevent difficulties for the mother and foetus.
