Note of a Case of Acephalic Acardiac Fœtus
نویسنده
چکیده
laterally symmetrical, the side to which the rudimentary extremity was attached being rather the larger. On its anterior and lateral aspects the trunk presented a transverse groove about its middle ; three-quarters of an inch above this groove the umbilical cord was attached, while extending upwards for about two inches beyond was a thin membrane, under which the appearance presented considerable difference from that of ordinary skin. From the circumference of this surface the membrane projected outwards, terminating in a free edge. This was, in all probability, the wall of a ruptured serous sac. Half an inch below the transverse groove, a small nipple-shaped body formed a projection of the size of a large pin's head, being surrounded by a circular groove. On the right side of the upper end of the trunk there were two rounded sessile projections?one, the external and smaller, being covered by ordinary skin ; the other having a wrinkled integument of a purplish tinge. Immediately in front of these were situated

Twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence: acardiac-acephalic twin - a case report
Acardiac-acephalic twin is one of the bizarre complications of monozygotic, monochorionic twin pregnancies. It is commonly referred to as Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion (TRAP) sequence, in which the primary malformation is the lack of a well -defined cardiac structure in one twin (acardiac), which is kept alive by its structurally normal co-twin (pump twin) through abnormal placental vascular...
متن کاملAcardiac 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 کاملTwin 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.
متن کاملAcardiac Acephalus Fetus Presenting as Obstructed Labour: A Case Report
Mono-amniotic mono-chorionic pregnancies are un-common among twin gestations. Further twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence is extremely rare presentation. Acardiac acephalic fetus resulting as a result of TRAP sequence has an estimated incidence of 1 in 35,000 pregnancies. To the best of our knowledge, no such case has been reported till date which presented as obstructed labour. We...
