ABSTRACT: Background
Placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) is a rare placental vascular malformation of unknown etiology. PMD may coexist with a healthy fetus, and its ultrasound appearance is similar to that of a hydatidiform mole, especially the partial type. Prenatal ultrasonography is vital for accurate diagnosis of these conditions. This study aimed to summarize the characteristics of prenatal ultrasonographic images across different gestational weeks (W) for PMD and evaluate and analyze factors that influence pregnancy outcomes related to PMD. The goal is to improve the diagnosis of PMD, effectively assess fetal prognosis, and provide a reference for prenatal consultations and clinical management.Case description
Of the 15 included patients, 4, 8, and 3 had PMD in early pregnan
