A 41-year-old Saudi woman, gravida 7, para 5, aborta 1 with sickle cell disease at week 12 of gestation of diamniotic dichorionic twin pregnancy was admitted with fever. Blood cultures grew Listeria monocytogenes. She was treated with intravenous ampicillin and had death of one of the fetuses after 10 days. An ultrasound at 19 weeks of gestation showed a normal intrauterine gestation and the pr...

About 30% of monochorionic twin pregnancies are complicated by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), isolated discordant growth, twin anemia-polycythemia sequence, congenital defects or intrauterine demise. About 15% will be eligible for invasive fetal therapy, either fetoscopic laser treatment for TTTS or fetoscopic or ultrasound-guided umbilical cord coagulation for a severe congenital de...

Methods: Out of 172 very low birth weight (VLBW) infants admitted from 2004 to 2007, five recipient infants of monochorionic diamniotic twins were defined as recipient group (n=5). Three to five control infants matched for gestational age, birth weight, gender were selected from the remaining VLBW infants in the same study period (control group, n=20). Serial echocardiographic examinations incl...

Ectopic pregnancy is an extrauterine pregnancy, and 98% of which occur in the fallopian tube. The incidence of twin tubal pregnancy is rare but is increasing due to assisted reproductive technology. Spontaneous unilateral twin tubal pregnancy is extremely rare, and only a small number of case reports have been made. We herein report a rare case of spontaneous unilateral twin tubal pregnancy wit...

BACKGROUND Fetus in fetu is a rare congenital anomaly in which malformed fetus grows within the body of its twin. It is almost always detected as an abdominal mass in infancy. It is a parasitic twin of a diamniotic, monozygotic twin. It should be differentiated from teratoma which has no axial arrangement and has got definite malignant potential. Herein, we present a case of a two-month old fem...

Maternal mirror syndrome is a rare consequence of fetal hydrops. By convention, delivery is recommended in pregnancies complicated by mirror syndrome due to grave fetal prognosis. We describe a case of a dichorionic, diamniotic twin gestation complicated by hydrops fetalis of twin B. The patient declined selective feticide. Two weeks later, intrauterine fetal demise of fetus B was diagnosed and...
