Dichorionic twins discordant for intrauterine growth retardation.
A policy of expectant management until 32 weeks of gestation in 29 dichorionic pregnancies discordant for growth retardation resulted in an overall mortality of 24% (95% CI 13.9-37.2%) and a handicap of 2.2% (95% CI 0-12.0%). None of the normally grown co-twins died or was handicapped as a result of iatrogenic prematurity.

Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) refers to fetal growth that has been constrained in utero. It results in newborns that have not attained their full growth potential and are already malnourished at birth. Fetuses that suffer from growth retardation have higher perinatal morbidity and mortality and are more likely to experience poor cognitive development and neurologic impairment during ch...
متن کاملBlood flow changes in dichorionic twins with growth discordance.
AIM The study evaluated the applicability of Doppler ultrasonography in predicting the course of pregnancy and neonatal outcome in dichorionic pregnancy complicated by growth discordance. METHODS Doppler examination of the umbilical artery (UA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) was performed in 106 twins. Abnormal values of the UA pulsatility index (PI) were considered to be above the 95th per...
متن کاملSelective intrauterine growth retardation in monochorionic twins accompanied by vasa previa
Velamentous cord insertion and vasa previa can impair the fetal growth. This pathology occurs either in singleton or more often in monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancies where it can accompany the selective intrauterine growth retardation (sIUGR). This condition is related to increased fetal mortality and morbidity especially due to a very high risk of vessel rupture. Transvaginal ultrasound scree...
