Placental Mesenchymal Dysplasia: An Enigma
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
Placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) is a rare placental abnormality characterized by placentomegaly and grape-like vesicles resembling partial mole by ultrasonography, but in contrast to partial mole can co-exist with a viable fetus. Although the karyotype is normal, the fetus is at increased risk for intrauterine growth restriction, intrauterine fetal demise or perinatal death and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. Prenatal diagnosis is difficult and the final diagnosis is usually achieved by postpartum histological examination of the placenta. PMD is disproportionally affects females. The purpose of reporting this case is to share the successful fetal outcome which occurs rarely, in this even rarer condition, PMD.
