Blighted ovum and nonhydatidiform mole - what does this mean

A blighted ovum occurs when the fertilized egg implants in the uterus but fails to develop into an embryo. a nonhydatidiform mole is a type of abnormal pregnancy where the embryo does not develop, but instead a mass of abnormal placental tissue grows inside the uterus.

What happens during the disease - blighted ovum and nonhydatidiform mole

Blighted ovum and nonhydatidiform mole are both caused by chromosomal abnormalities in the developing embryo, resulting in an abnormal or absent embryo and an abnormal placenta. in a blighted ovum, the embryo fails to develop and the placenta continues to grow. in a nonhydatidiform mole, the embryo fails to develop and the placenta grows abnormally, forming a mass of cystic structures. both conditions can result in an early miscarriage.
