Q

what is gestational trophoblastic disease

Q

Hydatidiform mole aka

A

molar pregnancy

21
Q

sign of trophoblastic disease in blood flow to fetus

A

high velocity, low impedance waveforms in the 1st and early 2nd trimesters due to high degree of arterial invasion by abnormally proliferating trophoblast.

22
