Introduction:
A blighted ovum is clinically known as an anembryonic pregnancy. This is a form of fetal demise or miscarriage that occurs because the embryo ceases to develop any further and gets resorbed into the endometrium, leaving behind a distinct empty gestational sac. Anembryonic pregnancies belong within the subset of missed abortions and account for 10-15% of all spontaneous early abortions.
Although chromosomal abnormality is usually the etiology behind blighted ovum, but it does not explain all incidence of this sort of miscarriage. There have been many couples who have been genetically screened to have healthy chromosomes, yet they still develop blighted ovums.
Symptoms:
• If it is a silent one, pregnancy symptoms will be normal, but the pregnancy is already terminated
• If it isn’t a silent one, symptoms would include cramping, abdominal pains, and light vaginal bleedings.
Causes:
• Endocrine Abnormalities (hormonal imbalance: lack of Estrogen)
• Possible presence of massive ovarian cysts

Diagnosis:
Clinical evaluation of a blighted ovum is done via gynecologic ultrasound, which distinctly demonstrates an empty gestational sac and absence of an embryo. If gestational sac is more than 25mm diameter, and there is no discernable embryo within the sac, then the diagnosis is confirmed, and pregnancy tissue removal must be considered next. Blood test also shows a distinct low level of the pregnancy hormone estrogen.

Treatment:
Here at Antai Hospital, patient is prescribed with DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) medication which can be metabolized into estrogen within the body. Estrogen plays an important role in embryogenesis such as the formation of blood vessels, fetal organs etc. Patients who have a history of anembryonic pregnancies can develop healthy full-term pregnancies with the correct management method.
