Acardiac Twin: A Rare Case Report
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence (TRAP), refers to a rare, unique complication of mono-chorionic twin pregnancy in which a twin with an absent or a nonfunctioning heart (acardiac twin) is perfused by its co-twin (pump twin) via placental arterial anastomoses. The acardiac twin usually has a poorly developed heart, upper body and head. The pump twin is at risk of heart failure and problems related to preterm birth. This case report presents an antenatally diagnosed mono-chorionic twin pregnancy, resulting in preterm delivery of a healthy, normal twin along with an acardiac co-twin.

Acardiac twin - A case report
Acardiac twinning is a rare congenital anomaly of monozygotic twin pregnancy which often results from abnormal placental vascular anastomosis. It leads to twin reversal arterial perfusion with complex pathophysiology. Current information on early recognition and treatment for salvation of the normal twin is based on individual case reports in the literature. Mortality of Acardiac twin is 100%. ...
متن کاملA case of TRAP sequence with immense acardiac twin.
Twin-reversed arterial perfusion sequence is a rare complication of monochorionic twin pregnancy in which an anomalous acardiac fetus is hemodynamically dependent on its structurally normal "pump" twin. Early diagnosis is essential for improving perinatal prognosis for the normal twin. In this case report we present a case of TRAP sequence with immense acardiac twin with favorable outcome, emph...

Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) syndrome is a rare condition (0.3:10,000 births) that occurs in monochorionic twin pregnancies, resulting in coexistence of a normal "pump" twin and an acardiac twin. The acardiac twin is dependent upon the normal twin to provide circulation by means of vascular anastomosis. Many of the bizarre defects are felt to be caused by low oxygen tension and this ...
