Perinatal 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 کاملCardiac morbidity in monochorionic twins
Twin pregnancies are at increased risk of complications and adverse outcome compared to singletons. A significant contribution to higher morbidity and mortality seen in monochorionic twins is made by cardiac complications. Abnormal cardiac development in monochorionic pregnancies can be divided into primary structural cardiac lesions (structural cardiac anomalies unrelated to the existence of T...
متن کاملDown syndrome in monochorionic twins
Down syndrome in monochorionic twins has rarely been reported. We report such a case diagnosed prenatally. Maternal serum screening was performed at 15 weeks for a twin pregnancy which indicated a risk of greater than 1:50 for Down syndrome. The review of early ultrasonography confirmed monochorionic twins. Amniocentesis at 17 weeks’ gestation was performed on one of the twin sacs, which confir...
متن کاملPreliminary experience with microwave ablation for selective feticide in monochorionic twin pregnancies.
Microwave ablation (MWA) is an alternative technique to radiofrequency ablation and laser ablation in the treatment of some solid tumors. In contrast to radiofrequency and laser ablation, we are not aware of previous experiences with MWA in fetal procedures, and report here our preliminary experience. Two cases of monochorionic–diamniotic twins, discordant for fetal abnormalities, underwent sel...
متن کاملAplasia cutis congenita as a result of interstitial laser therapy for fetal reduction in monochorionic twins: Conservative approach and outcome
Monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancies are known to carry a high risk of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) that could lead to miscarriage and perinatal death. Demise of one fetus is frequently associated with co-fetal death. Fetal reduction by interstitial laser therapy is an effective procedure to prevent this outcome, but it may be associated with significant risks for both mother and fet...
