Type: article

Abstract: The classic picture of a hydatiform mole is made of recurrent metrorrhagia, exaggeration of sympathetic signs, increase of uterine volume compared to gestational age and marked elevation of serum β-hCG. The occurrence of preeclampsia is less common and its mechanism is less well known. In this case, the authors report an atypical presentation of the complete hydatiform mole alarmed by chronic hypertension with preeclampsia added to a pregnant woman of 39 years. The management involved stopping the pregnancy and normalization of the blood pressure figures was spectacular after uterine aspiration.
