We report on a 31-year-old II gravida I para treated because of a hydatidiform mole, hyperthyroidism and acute renal failure in the 16th week of pregnancy. The pathomechanism of trophoblast-induced hyperthyroidism will be discussed. To our knowledge this is the first report on acute renal failure in association with trophoblast-induced hyperthyroidism.
OBJECTIVE: What kind of diagnostical methods are usual to detect fetal sirenomelia? MATERIAL AND METHODS: The prenatal diagnosis of fetal sirenomelia combined with bilateral renal agenesis, oligohydramnios and single umbilical artery in a 24-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 1, at a gestational age of 18 + 3 weeks is described in this case report. RESULTS: This fetal malformation was an accidental sonographic found, and caused after confirming diagnosis by amnoinfusion and amniocentesis, the termination of pregnancy. Genetic examination revealed tetrasomia 13. CONCLUSIONS: The sonographic finding of oligohydramnios should cause an exactly sonographical examination with amnioinfusion. In case of sirenomelia genetical examination is necessary.
