The UCA is broader in multiparous women who successfully terminated and is linked to a shorter duration of induction. The UCA by itself is the only significant contributor to the outcome of second trimester pregnancy terminations.
During the termination of second trimester pregnancies time from induction of labor to delivery is shorter with the Foley catheter compared to double balloon catheter.
Twin pregnancies with complete mole and a coexisting live fetus are rare obstetric conditions seen in 1 case of 22000 to 100000 pregnancies. In our case, a twin molar pregnancy was diagnosed in the first trimester by ultrasound. In a 27-year-old patient with the first pregnancy, a 12-week live fetus with a normal placenta and a twin molar pregnancy appearance were observed on a routine ultrasonographic examination of the uterine cavity. Twin molar pregnancies are reported to be terminated by live birth in the literature, but termination of pregnancy is an important option to prevent maternal morbidity since molar pregnancy may lead to complications ranging from theca lutein cysts to gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.
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.
