AJR Teaching File: Pregnant Woman With Vaginal Spotting, Nausea, and Vomiting

Prenatal differential diagnosis of complete hydatidiform mole with a twin live fetus and placental mesenchymal dysplasia by magnetic resonance imaging

“…Vaginal bleeding is a common symptom of complete hydatidiform mole, which might be caused by the separation of molar tissue from the decidua and the disruption of maternal vessels . Two papers of MRI findings of CHMTF have reported the presence of hemorrhage within the cystic component . The excellent tissue contrast of MRI is especially useful in the assessment of hemorrhages, including placental imaging.…”

“…Recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been indicated for the diagnosis of fetal and placental diseases in combination with USG . There have been several case reports of the assessment of CHMTF or PMD using MRI, but no reports describing the differentiation of MRI findings between CHMTF and PMD were found.…”

The role of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of complete hydatidiform mole in a twin pregnancy

“…Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) characterized by abnormal proliferation of trophoblasts and high levels of β‐human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), can be diagnosed by ultrasonography [1].…”
