This is a case study of twin pregnancy, going
through a complete hydatidiform mole with living fetus. The pregnant woman had
a previous partial hydatidiform mole, diagnosed and confirmed five months
before the pregnancy which is the subject of this study. The first suspected
diagnosis was made by means of a medical external ultrasound scan, confirmed by
other tests, such as the dosage of ŠÂ-HCG.
Besides the bibliographic review, this study addresses legal aspects of the
Brazilian system which does not allow termination of pregnancy in these
situations. In this particular case, the living fetus was sacrificed through
uterine evacuation, featuring a criminal abortion. For the safety of the
medical staff and the pregnant woman herself, there was the need for a special
authorization from the Public Prosecution to the medical procedure.
