Discordance for Cri du Chat Syndrome in a dichorionic–diamniotic twin pregnancy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the prenatal diagnosis through array CGH of a dichorionic–diamniotic (DC/DA) twins discordant for Cri du Chat Syndrome. Structural anomalies on one of the twins lead to amniotic fluid sampling, which revealed a partial deletion on the short arm of the chromosome 5. Selective feticide of the affected twin was performed at 34 + 1 weeks' and elective Cesarean section at 37 + 2 weeks. Postnatal cytogenetic analysis confirmed pre-natal genetic findings.

INTRODUCTION This study investigates patterns of intertwin size discordance in dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) and monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ultrasound measurements of twin pregnancies, from 14 weeks to term, were collected by 9 hospitals over a 10-year period. This analysis considers the modelled and observed levels of discordance in abdominal circu...

BACKGROUND We examined the perinatal outcomes in cases of at least one fetal demise in monochorionic and diamniotic twin pregnancies. METHODS We reviewed the obstetric records of all Japanese twin pregnancies managed beyond 9 weeks' gestation at Japanese Red Cross Katsushika Maternity Hospital between 2008 and 2014. RESULTS The incidence in the monochorionic twin pregnancies was significant...

A 38 year-old woman presented with a dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy at gestational age of 32 weeks concerning for an abdominal wall mass in one of the twins. Initial ultrasound evaluation was suspicious for an omphalocele, but the affected twin was found to have bladder exstrophy at birth. This illustrates the difficulties of accurate prenatal diagnosis of bladder exstrophy in a twin pre...

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...
