چکیده
BACKGROUND Symptoms of congenital cytomegalovirus infection remains unclear. CASE CHARACTERISTICS Extremely low birth weight twins with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome were infected with cytomegalovirus congenitally.

I-40: Ultrasound in Multiple Pregnancy
Ultrasound has revolutioned the care of women carring twins. First trimester evaluation is the best time to determine chorioniocity and amnioniocity in multiple gestations. First trimester diagnosis is based on the number of gestational sacs, amnions and yolk sacs. Growth rate in multiple multiple gestations during the fist and early second trimesters parallels the growth rate of singleton preg...
متن کاملUnilateral choanal atresia in one monozygotic twin: a case report.
Unilateral atresia is an extremely uncommon congenital disorder in monozygotic twins. We present the first case in the literature of premature, monozygotic twins with no other congenital genetic defects other than only one twin with unilateral choanal atresia on the right side, being the other sibling completely normal. Diagnostic examinations performed to both twins consisted of nasal endoscop...

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that identical twins show no inter-twin differences in cardiovascular structure or physiology in fetal life unless there has been twin-twin transfusion syndrome. DESIGN Unselected prospective case-control observational study of fetoplacental haemodynamics including echocardiography at a median of 24 (16.7 to 32.3) weeks, with postnatal confirmation of congenit...
متن کاملManagement of Acardiac Twins: Does Conservative Approach Deserves Consideration? A Case Report
Acardiac twinning, a rare congenital anomaly of monozygotic twin pregnancies, often leading to abnormal placental vascular anastomosis. This in turn results in twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) with complex pathophysiology. Current information on early diagnosis and treatment for the salvation of the pump twin is based mainly on various individual case reports. Here, we report a case of m...
متن کاملWhat we can learn from twins: congenital heart disease in the danish twin registry.
O ur understanding of the causes of congenital heart defects has benefited tremendously from state-of-the-art genetic and epigenetic tools. The rapid progress is due in part to the development of novel, high-throughput, cost-effective sequencing technology—so-called next-generation sequenc-ing—that has made it possible to sequence the entire genome or all genes (whole exome sequencing). However...
