A case report of pregnancy outcome following four cnsecutivecomplete molar pregnancies: Review of genetic basis of recurrent molar pregnancies and pillars of management

Abstract

Recurrent molar pregnancy is a rare condition, characterized by unclear prognosis of subsequent pregnancies. This paper discusses a 25-year- old gravida 5, diagnosed with acute idiopathic polyhydramnios following 4 consecutive complete hydatidiform moles. She delivered through caesarean section secondary to breech presentation and non-reassuring foetal status following preterm premature rupture of membranes, to a live male infant. This paper reviews the genetic basis of recurrent molar pregnancies, pillars of management and the outcome of subsequent pregnancy following recurrent molar pregnancies.
