Discordance in nuchal translucency measurements in monochorionic diamniotic twins as predictor of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.
OBJECTIVE Discordance in nuchal translucency measurements in monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies was assessed as predictor of Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome. STUDY DESIGN A total of 61 monochorionic diamniotic twins were enrolled. Nuchal translucency (NT) and crown-rump-length (CRL) discordance was calculated as the percentage of delta NT and CRL (absolute difference NT/CRL fetus 1 a...
متن کاملN-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels in monochorionic diamniotic twins with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome treated by fetoscopic laser photocoagulation.
Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) affects 15% of monochorionic diamniotic (MD) twin pregnancies, and is associated with adverse perinatal outcome. Recently, fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP) has been widely accepted as the most definitive therapy to treat TTTS. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a powerful diagnostic marker of cardiac dysfunction in neonates, a...
متن کاملHaemoglobin differences at birth in monochorionic twins without chronic twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.
OBJECTIVES To determine the haemoglobin (Hb) differences at birth in monochorionic (MC) twins without chronic twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) in relation to birth order and placental vascular anatomy. METHODS All consecutive cases of MC twins without chronic TTTS and dichorionic (DC) twins delivered at our centre and admitted to our neonatal nursery between June 2002 and December 200...
متن کاملIntrauterine growth restriction in monochorionic-diamniotic twins.
OBJECTIVE to evaluate neonatal morbidity and mortality in monochorionic-diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies complicated by selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR) and non-selective intrauterine growth resctriction (nsIUGR). METHODS neonatal morbidity parameters and mortality were analyzed in 34 twins with IUGR (< 10th percentile on twins' growth charts): 18 with sIUGR and 16 with nsI...
متن کامل[Natural history of monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies with and without twin-twin transfusion syndrome].
PURPOSE to evaluate the evolution of monochorionic-diamniotic twin pregnancies with and without the twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), followed up in an expectant way. METHODS retrospective study in which the pregnancies with and without TTTS and with mild (Quintero's stage I) and severe (Quintero's stages II, III, IV and V) disease manifestations were compared according to extreme preter...
