Point-Of-Care Ultrasound to Diagnose Molar Pregnancy in the Emergency Department: A Case Report and Topic Review.

Molar pregnancy is a topic in emergency medicine frequently tested and regularly discussed but is perhaps overshadowed by other conditions such as ectopic pregnancy. It is a rare diagnosis encountered in the emergency department (ED) and is part of a broad spectrum of pathological conditions that fall into the category of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). Diagnosis of this potentially malignant condition requires the emergency physician to bear this condition in mind when treating any woman while considering obstetric-related conditions in the first trimester, vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, and excessive nausea and vomiting.
