The development of an acardiac anomaly, one of the most severe human malformations, is a rare complication unique to monochorionic multiple pregnancies. In this condition, the primary malformation is the lack of a well-defined cardiac structure in one twin (the acardiac twin), which is kept alive by its structurally normal co-twin (the pump twin). The final diagnosis for a twin pregnancy with a...

coexistence of a viable fetus with a hydatidiform mole is a rare condition and the diagnosis is very important because of the risk of developing severe complications in pregnancy.the management of these pregnancies is optional, although accurate and great care is required to find early signs of maternal or fetal complications. hereby we report a case of dizygotic twin pregnancy with a complete ...

p a twin pregnancy with a complete hydatidiform mole with a coexistent foetus (chmf) is a rare condition that typically results in poor pregnancy outcomes. for patients with refractory vaginal bleeding, termination of pregnancy is more appropriate. however, unified methods for termination remain to be explored. in the present study, we reviewed the termination measures in four cases of twin pre...

Ectopic pregnancy presents a major health problem for women of childbearing age. It is the result of a law in human reproductive physiology that allows the conceptus to implant and mature outside the endometrial cavity. Without timely diagnosis and treatment, ectopic pregnancy can become a life-threatening situation. Spontaneous unilateral twin ectopic pregnancy is an extremely rare condition a...

BACKGROUND The antenatal diagnosis of a combined esophageal atresia without tracheoesophageal fistula and duodenal atresia with or without gastric perforation is a rare occurrence. These diagnoses are difficult and can be suspected on ultrasound by nonspecific findings including a small stomach and polyhydramnios. Fetal magnetic resonance imaging adds significant anatomical detail and can aid i...

AIM To assess the accurate establishment of chorionicity, perinatal complications, and outcome of monochorionic twin pregnancies managed in a tertiary referral center in Croatia and compare the findings with data published for other countries. METHODS The retrospective analysis included data on a total of 24 monochorionic twin pregnancies delivered at the Department between January 1998 and M...

BACKGROUND The incidence of rudimentary heterotopic uterine horn pregnancy varies from 1:76,000 to 1:140,000. However the incidence of twin pregnancy i.e. intrauterine pregnancy in unicornuate uterus and its associated rudimentary horn pregnancy is estimated to be around 1 in 10 million gestations. CASE Here, we present 19 year old pramigravida women with acute haemoperitoneum with diagnosis ...
