SENSITIVITY OF SONOGRAPHY IN THE ASSESSMENT OF GESTATIONAL TROPHOBLASTIC DISEASE

Objective: Hydatiform mole is a disorder of fertilization categorized by an anomalous development of the chorionic tissues. The occurrence of this disorder is 1 per 547 persons in our country Pakistan. There is much importance of early recognition of this complication. The aim of this research work is to examine the sonographic value in the assessment of GDT (gestational trophoblastic disease). Methodology: This was a transverse hospital based research work. Total ninety-five females diagnosed with GTD, various condition of abortions and wrecked ovum with the usage of sonography were the part of this research study. All the patients experienced hysterectomy and pathology confirmed the various kinds of disorders. Results: Total 95 patients were the participants of this research study with an average age of 24.050 years. Total 89 patients among them were available with CHM (Complete Hydatiform Mole) & remaining 6 patients were available with PHM (partial hydatiform mole). The sensitivity was 87.50% for the identification of the molar pregnancies completely when sensitivity was 91.30% in the detection of complete hydatiform mole and &60.0% in the detection of partial hydatiform mole. Conclusion: The results of this research work displayed that sonography is very effectual diagnostic method for discovery of the molar pregnancies; however, it has high sensitivity in the identification of complete and partial hydatiform moles. There is need of further studies to elaborate the performance of ultrasonography in this matter. KEY WORDS: Ultrasonography, Kidney, Hydatiform, Trophoblastic, Endometrium, Molar Pregnancies
