Early Diagnosis of Hydat diform Mole by Amniography
|
|
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Though hydatidiform mole is a benign disease, early diagnosis as possible is desirable. While the diagnosis of hydatidiform mole can not often be made with certainty before molar vesicles are aborted, especially in the first trimester, authors could find that amniography is very valuable in early diagnosis of hydatidiform mole.
From 8 cases of amniography, we obtained the following results:
1. Typical moth-eaten or honey-combed patterns were seen on amniography in 6 cases out of 7 clinically suspected hydatidiform mole and then- all of these cases were confirmed as - hydatidiform mole by operation.
2. One of the 7 cases above showed cystic shadow on amniogram and an ovarian cyst was found bb operation in this case.
3. One case in which intrauterine fetal death was suspected clinically showed fatal hadw on amniogram and the diagnosis of intrauterine fetal death was confirmed.
Thus, if moth-eaten or honeycombed patterns appear on amniogram, the diagnosis of hydatidiform mole can be made with confidnce.
