Acardiac twins--an analysis of 10 cases.
The pathological characteristics of the acardiac fetus were studied based on 10 autopsy cases. These cases were collected during a 13-year period at Seoul National University Hospital. All 10 fetuses were monochorionic twins, and six of them were male. Externally normal co-twins survived in five cases and died perinatally in three cases. The gestational period of these acardiacs ranged from 20 ...
متن کاملClinical and anatomic features of acardiac twins.
OBJECTIVE To report 6 cases of acardiac twins, and to investigate prognostic factors that would lead to survival of the normal twin. SUBJECTS AND METHODS During a 9-year period from 1993 to 2001, 6 cases of acardiac twins out of 109,000 deliveries at the Maternity Center, Tunis, Tunisia were studied.

متن کاملThe vascular plug: a new device for parent artery occlusion.
Parent artery occlusion (PAO) is still indicated at times for the treatment of craniocervical vascular disease. Because of the unavailability of silicone and latex balloons in the United States, costly combinations of detachable and pushable coils have been required to achieve PAO. We describe our experience with a simple and less expensive alternative for PAO in 4 carotid arteries and 1 verteb...
متن کاملManagement of Acardiac Twins: Does Conservative Approach Deserves Consideration? A Case Report
Acardiac twinning, a rare congenital anomaly of monozygotic twin pregnancies, often leading to abnormal placental vascular anastomosis. This in turn results in twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) with complex pathophysiology. Current information on early diagnosis and treatment for the salvation of the pump twin is based mainly on various individual case reports. Here, we report a case of m...
متن کاملPipeline embolization device: a new source for embolic retinal vascular occlusion.
A 57-year-old woman underwent treatment of a left internal carotid artery aneurysm with a Pipeline embolization device. She subsequently experienced multiple branch retinal artery occlusions in her left eye. Although rare, ophthalmic complications may follow this new technique in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.
