Ultrasound to identify cord knotting in monoamniotic monochorionic twins.
This case report demonstrates the use of ultrasound and doppler flow in the management of mono-amniotic monochorionic (M/M) twins. M/M twinning is a rare but significant event. It is associated with high rates of fetal mortality, most commonly cited at anywhere from between 30% and 70%. A common cause of death is cord entanglement. The case presented is that of a 19-year-old gravida 1 at 30 wee...
متن کاملPerinatal outcome of monochorionic twins with selective IUGR compared with uncomplicated monochorionic twins.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the perinatal outcome of MC twins with selective IUGR (sIUGR). STUDY DESIGN A prospective study, which included three groups of MC twins: Group A, uncomplicated MC twin pregnancies (n = 91); group B, sIUGR with normal umbilical artery Doppler (n = 19); and group C, sIUGR with abnormal (absence or reversed EDV) umbilical artery Doppler (n = 18). The latter were routinely ...
متن کاملSonographic detection of monoamniotic twins.
The true incidence of monoamniotic twinning has been almost impossible to determine accurately because it requires closer inspection of the membranes and placenta at delivery than is usually performed. Sonography of 3440 patients presenting for genetic amniocentesis identified 39 twin gestations, one of which was monoamniotic (0.026%). Prospectively with ultrasound, four of the twin gestations ...
متن کاملMonoamniotic Twins: A Case Series
Monoamniotic twinning is a rare event associated with a high perinatal morbidity and mortality. In this article, six pairs of monoamniotic twins diagnosed prenatally during 2001-2003 were evaluated. The management protocol included documentation of chorionicity and amnionicity by early ultrasonographic examination, 2-4 weekly serial ultrasound surveillance, antepartum fetal heart rate monitorin...
متن کاملPregnancy outcome of monochorionic twins: does amnionicity matter?
OBJECTIVE To compare the fetal loss rate of monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancies according to their amnionicity. METHODS A retrospective review of all MC pregnancy outcomes in a tertiary centre. Pregnancy outcomes were compared for monochorionic monoamniotic (MCMA) versus monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) pregnancies. RESULTS 29 MCMA and 117 MCDA twin pregnancies were identified. The overall f...
