Haemoglobin 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 کاملEndothelin concentrations in monochorionic twins with severe twin-twin transfusion syndrome.
The objective of this study was to determine endothelin (ET-1) concentrations in monochorionic twin fetuses with and without twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Fourteen monochorionic twin pregnancies complicated by TTTS and six without TTTS were studied. Matched maternal and fetal blood samples were obtained both in utero and at birth. Amniotic fluid samples were also collected from twin pa...
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 کاملFetal Heart Rate Patterns in Monochorionic Twins Following Acute Twin-Twin Transfusion
Background. We present here 2 cases of acute twin-twin transfusion occurred during vaginal labor in monochorionic-diamniotic twin pregnancies. Case. Fetal heart rate tracings showed tachycardia in the donor twin in the first case, while they showed reassuring patterns in both twins in the second case. Conclusion. These differences in changes of fetal heart rate in the donor twins following acut...
متن کاملDiscordance 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...
