Monochorionic monoamniotic (MM) twin pregnancy carries a high risk of intrauterine fetal death (IUFD). Single IUFD in an MM twin pregnancy prior to 22 weeks of gestation has been reported to be strongly correlated with double twin demise. To our knowledge, there are no case reports on the natural course of a surviving co-twin in an MM twin pregnancy resulting in live birth after a single IUFD p...

AIM To estimate the rate of IUFD/Stillbirths (SB). STUDY DESIGN This is a retrospective review of delivery suite records from Jan 1 2013 to Dec 31 2014. METHODS Study was undertaken at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital (CCTH) in the Central region of Ghana. All pregnant women who had their babies at the delivery suite of CCTH have their records hand written in Ghana health service approved a...

Objective: To investigate the fetal/neonatal prognosis and to compare Intrauterine Fetal Death (IUFD) with liveborn infants in placental abruption. Methods: A retrospective review of 355 pregnancies was performed. An adverse fetal/neonatal outcome was defined as IUFD on admission, neonatal/ infantile death at discharge and cerebral palsy. Results: Eighty-nine fetuses were cases of IUFD, while t...

OBJECTIVE Customized growth charts developed for singleton pregnancies have been shown to be more effective than population-based ones at identifying small-for-gestational age (SGA) fetuses at risk for intrauterine fetal death (IUFD). We sought to compare the association between SGA and IUFD in twins using customized growth charts designed for twin gestations compared to those designed for sing...

Intra Uterine Fetal Death (IUFD) atau kematian janin dalam kandungan adalah tidak adanya tanda-tanda kehidupan dan belum dikeluarkannya dari uterus ibunya. merupakan salah satu penyebab perinatal. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Jumlah sampel 62 orang terbagi atas Kasus IUFD 31 Kontrol (Tidak IUFD) berjumlah orang. Instrumen penelitian le...

Intrauterine fetal growth restriction (IUGR) and death (IUFD) are both serious problems in the perinatal medicine. Fetal vasculopathy is currently considered to account for a pathogenic mechanism of IUGR and IUFD. We previously demonstrated that an innate immune receptor, the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-1 (Nod1), contributed to the development of vascular inflammations in mice at ...

he incidence of multiple pregnancy has increased pari pasu, the increase in ovulation induction and assisted reproductive techniques. At the same time, its associated maternal and perinatal complications are well documented. One of the unusual complications of the twin gestation is the single intrauterine fetal death, which occurs in the later half of the pregnancy with quoted incidence between...

It was demonstrated that second- and third-trimester therapeutic termination of pregnancy (TOP) is feasible in cases with placenta previa. We report a 34-year-old woman with complex fetal malformations associated with placenta previa. An ultrasound examination at 21 weeks of gestation revealed fetal growth restriction (FGR) and complex fetal malformations associated with a placenta previa. Afte...

BACKGROUND Intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) is a serious incidence that has been shown to impact mothers' psychological well-being in the short-term. Long-term quality of life (QOL) and depression after IUFD is not known. This study aimed to determine the association between intrauterine fetal death and long-term QOL, well-being, and depression. METHODS Analyses were performed on collected dat...

OBJECTIVE We conducted the study to see the incidence of thyroid dysfunction in women with obstetrical high-risk factors. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed medical charts of high-risk pregnant women who had examination for thyroid function during pregnancy. Women were divided according to clinical presentation, symptoms of thyroid disease and those with a personal history of thyroid disease...
