چکیده

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, emphasizing the importance of ultrasound imaging, follow-up and timing of delivery in this complicated pregnancy.

Acardiac Twin: A Rare Case Report

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 probl...

Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence / Sequence Acephalus Acardiac Fetus

Twin reverse arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence occurs only in a setting of a monochorionic gestation and complicates approximately 1% of monochorionic twin gestation. In the TRAP sequence the acardiac / acephalic twin receives all of its blood supply from the normal “pump” twin.

TRAP Sequence or Acardiac Twin

Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence or acardiac twinning is a very rare problem, occurring in approximately 1% of monochorionic twins [2] (MC, twins sharing one placenta). One twin is usually structurally completely normal. The other is an abnormal mass of tissue, consisting usually of legs and a lower body, but no upper body, head or heart. Because of the absent heart, the term ?a...
