Twin anemia polycythemia sequence in a dichorionic diamniotic pregnancy: a case report [PDF]
Complications related to the vascular anastomosis of the placental vessels in monochorionic twins are fatal. The clinical syndromes of feto-fetal transfusion include twin anemia polycythemia sequence (TAPS), twin-twin transfusion syndrome, and twin ...

Twin-twin transfusion syndrome - a University Hospital experience with intrauterine treatment
Introduction: twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), defined by combination of polyhydramnios-oligohydramnios, is the most prevalent (5%-35%) of the abnormalities due to placental vascular anastomoses and the most lethal (80%-100% mortality) if ...

Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction in twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome undergoing laser surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
Incidence of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction among TTTS pregnancies is 6% (68% had functional pulmonary stenosis and 32% had pulmonary atresia). Significant prenatal associations were TTTS stage III–IV and ductus venosus a‐wave reversal. Survival was comparable to those without outflow obstruction.

Abstract Objectives Fetal growth restriction (FGR) may alter brain development permanently, resulting in lifelong structural and functional changes. However, in studies addressing this research question, FGR singletons have been compared primarily to matched appropriately grown singletons, a design which is inherently biased by differences in genetic ...

Abstract Aim Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices generate loud noise, which might harm auditory function and maturation. The function of auditory pathways can be examined by using brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) and brainstem audiometry (BA) recordings.

Identification and management of fetal anaemia: a practical guide
Key content Fetal anaemia can be caused by alloimmune or infectious red cell destruction, disorders of fetal red cell production, fetal haemorrhage and as a complication of monochorionic multifetal pregnancy. A fetus at risk from maternal alloimmunisation can be detected by maternal serum screening for red cell antibodies and by fetal ultrasonography ...

Perinatal outcomes following fetoscopic laser surgery for early twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome: Systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
Although gestational age at delivery was 3 weeks earlier in twin‐to‐twin transfusion syndrome with FLS at <18 weeks, there was no difference in outcomes, including very early preterm birth, premature rupture of membranes and survival with similar findings in the subset that underwent laser surgery at <16 weeks.
