Sibling Having Turner Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Risk of chromosomal and structural anomalies are increased in twin pregnancies with potential loss of one fetus. Single fetal death in twin pregnancies is believed to be associated with increased risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality for the surviving twin and risk of coagulopathy affecting the mother. In this report we present a case of twin gestation with one of the fetuses having Turner syndrome with a hydrops fetalis and large cystic hygroma compressing the normal fetus. The abnormal fetus demised in the 22nd week of pregnancy. The patient was followed by conservative management and a healthy fetus was delivered by cesarean section. We discuss the risk of consumptive coagulopathy and fetal reduction procedure in a case of twin pregnancy with one demised fetus.
