Thoraco-Omphalopagus Conjoined Twins Following IVF With Day 5 Embryo Transfer: A Rare Case Report and Multidisciplinary Management Approach. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Conjoined twinning is a rare and severe complication of monozygotic pregnancies. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART), including in vitro fertilization (IVF), may increase the risk of such anomalies. We report a case of thoraco‐omphalopagus conjoined twins following a day 5 embryo transfer after IVF with intracytoplasmic sperm injection ...

Perinatal outcome of monochorionic triamniotic triplet pregnancy: multicenter cohort study

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 540-551, October 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Objective Monochorionic (MC) triplet pregnancies are extremely rare and information on these pregnancies and their complications is limited. We aimed to investigate the risk of early and late pregnancy complications, perinatal outcome and the timing and methods of fetal intervention in these pregnancies.

Single fetal demise in monochorionic twins: How to predict cerebral injury in the survivor co‐twin?

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 102, Issue 8, Page 1125-1134, August 2023., 2023
When single intrauterine fetal demise occurs in MC twins, prediction of neurological damage in the co‐twin is challenging. A multivariate model for increasing the prediction of cerebral damage in s‐IUFD is proposed. Abstract Introduction The aims of the study were to evaluate perinatal outcome in monochorionic (MC) twins complicated with single ...

Perinatal outcome after selective fetal reduction in monochorionic twin pregnancies: A comparison of techniques over a 20‐year period

Prenatal Diagnosis, Volume 43, Issue 8, Page 1028-1035, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective To assess the perinatal outcome after fetal reduction in complicated monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancies by comparing different techniques. Methods A retrospective cohort study at a national referral center comparing data between four techniques: interstitial laser coagulation, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), fetoscopic laser ...

History and highlights of the teratological collection in the Narrenturm, Vienna (Austria)

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 5, Page 1301-1324, May 2023., 2023
Abstract The collection of the Narrenturm in Vienna houses and maintains more than 50,000 objects including approximately 1200 teratological specimens; making it one of the biggest collections of specimens from human origin in Europe. The existence of this magnificent collection―representing an important resource for dysmorphology research, mostly ...

Management of twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence with microwave ablation: A case report and review of the literature. [PDF]

J Clin Ultrasound
Microwave ablation may be more effective at managing TRAP sequence given the technical properties of the treatment modality. A trans‐thoracic approach to the umbilical vessel confluence within the abdomen of the pump twin may decrease heat dispersion and post‐procedural hemorrhage.

Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Consult Series #75: Evaluation and management of non-immune hydrops fetalis. [PDF]

Pregnancy (Hoboken)
Abstract Non‐immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) can result from a multitude of underlying causes, such as fetal genetic diseases, congenital anomalies, infections, fetal arrhythmias, placental tumors, monochorionic twin complications, and other disorders.

Timing of intra‐fetal laser therapy for twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence: Retrospective series and systematic review and meta‐analysis

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 159, Issue 3, Page 833-840, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Objective To estimate the neonatal survival rate after intra‐fetal laser (IFL) treatment for twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence, and to investigate the effect of gestational age at the time of procedure. Methods Retrospective cohort study of TRAP sequences followed at our institution from 2013–2020.

Hypothesized pathogenesis of acardius acephalus, acormus, amorphus, anceps, acardiac edema, single umbilical artery, and pump twin risk prediction

Birth Defects Research, Volume 114, Issue 5-6, Page 149-164, March 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Acardiac twinning complicates monochorionic twin pregnancies in ≈2.6%, in which arterioarterial (AA) and venovenous placental anastomoses cause a reverse circulation between prepump and preacardiac embryos and cessation of cardiac function in the preacardiac.
