PARTIAL MOLAR PREGNANCY WITH A LIVE FETUS

The incidence of a normal live fetus with a partial mole is extremely rare and it varies between 5 per 100000 and 1 per 10000 of the pregnancies. Although triploidy is the most frequent association, a fetus with a normal karyotype can survive in cases of partial molar pregnancy. A 32 year old Primi at 26 weeks of gestation got admitted with spotting per vaginum and her ultrasound revealed a hydropic placenta with multiple cysts with a live fetus. Patient had regular antenatal checkups and fetal surveillance until 34 weeks. She went in to preterm labour and delivered an alive male fetus of weight 1.5 kilogram and a portion of the placenta revealed hydropic changes with vesicles. Partial molar pregnancy resulting in a live and healthy baby is rare and is usually associated with numerous maternal and fetal complications. Here, a case of Partial molar pregnancy who delivered a live male baby at 34 weeks gestation is reported.
