The Placenta in Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome and Twin Anemia Polycythemia Sequence.
Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and twin anemia polycythemia sequence (TAPS) are complications unique to monochorionic twin pregnancies and their shared circulation. Both are the result of the transfusion imbalance in the intertwin circulation. TTTS is characterized by an amniotic fluid discordance, whereas in TAPS, there is a severe discordance in hemoglobin levels. The article gives ...
متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis of spontaneous twin anemia-polycythemia sequence and postnatal examination of placental vascular anastomoses
Twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS) is characterized by a wide discrepancy of hemoglobin between two monochorionic fetuses without sign of twin oligo-polyhydramnios sequence. A primiparous woman with monochorionic diamniotic twin transferred for preterm labor. Ultrasonographic evaluation at 32+3 weeks of gestation revealed increased middle cerebral artery-peak systolic velocity (77.4 cm/se...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Utility of in utero Treatment of Twin Anemia-Polycythemia Sequence.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the interest in the in utero treatment of twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS). METHODS The obstetrical and neonatal data on all cases of TAPS followed up in our institution between 2006 and 2013 were reviewed. Statistical analyses were conducted using Bayesian methods. RESULTS Twenty cases of TAPS were included. Laser therapy or intrauteri...
متن کاملTwin Anemia-Polycythemia Sequence: Diagnostic Criteria, Classification, Perinatal Management and Outcome
Monochorionic twins share a single placenta with intertwin vascular anastomoses, allowing the transfer of blood from one fetus to the other and vice versa. These anastomoses are the essential anatomical substrate for the development of several complications, including twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS). TTTS and TAPS are both chronic forms of feto...
