| Abstract | INTRODUCTION: Twin pregnancy with complete hydatidiform mole and co-existent fetus (CHMF) resulting in a healthy take-home baby is rare, with only 30 cases documented in detail in the literature. CASE REPORT: A 29-year-old woman conceived following two cycles of ovulation induction with clomiphene citrate. Successive ultrasound examinations demonstrated a normally growing live fetus alongside a normal placenta and an additional intrauterine echogenic mass with features of hydatidiform mole. At 17 week gestation, serum beta-hCG level was 25.38 multiples of the median. Genetic amniocentesis at 18.5 week gestation showed normal fetal 46XX karyotype. A cesarean section performed at 28 week gestation resulted in the delivery of a live normal female infant and two adjoining placentas. One placenta was normal and the other placenta was composed of vesicles of various sizes. Microscopic examination of the abnormal placenta confirmed complete hydatidiform mole. The baby did well and serial maternal serum beta-hCG levels showed a declining trend and were undetectable by 7 weeks after delivery. CONCLUSION: Continuation of a twin pregnancy with CHMF is an acceptable option. There is, however, an increased risk of developing pre-eclampsia and fetal loss due to miscarriage. The chance of a live term birth is <50% with nearly 33% of the mothers developing persistent gestational trophoblastic disease after delivery. Thus, close surveillance of an ongoing twin pregnancy with CHMF is mandatory to detect potential early signs of maternal and fetal complications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
