Twin-twin transfusion syndrome
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1990Twin-twin transfusion syndrome associated with acute polyhydramnios in one sac and severe oligohydramnios in the other, which characteristically is diagnosed between 18 and 28 weeks, is associated with a high mortality rate for the involved twins. Patients who are managed without intervention have essentially 100% perinatal mortality. Nineteen patients

Twin–Twin Transfusion Syndrome
Seminars in Perinatology, 2012Twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a serious condition that affects 10% to 15% of twin pregnancies with monochorionic diamniotic placentation. The pathophysiology of TTTS is not completely understood; however, the presence of unbalanced placental vascular communications within a shared circulation has been implicated in its development.

Twin-twin transfusion syndrome
Hospital Medicine, 1999Twin–twin transfusion syndrome is a complication of monochorionic twin pregnancies associated with extremely high perinatal morbidity and mortality. This article describes the ultrasound features associated with this condition and possible pathophysiological mechanisms.

Twin–Twin Transfusion Syndrome Modeling
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2007Abstract: The twin–twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a severe complication occurring in monochorionic twins, and untreated, causes high rates of mortality and morbidity. In TTTS, five consecutive stages of increasing severity can be distinguished: first, the oligopolyhydramnios sequence; second, anuria in the donor twin; third, abnormal flow waves ...

Humans have always been fascinated by twins. Studies of monozygotic (MZ) (identical) and dizygotic (fraternal) twins, and the biological processes underlying twinning, has led to remarkable medical and scientific discoveries particularly in the fields of reproduction, epidemiology and genetics. One such finding is that MZ twins are not truly “identical,

Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome
Obstetric Anesthesia Digest, 2013We sought to review the natural history, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment options for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).A systematic review was performed using MEDLINE database, PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library. The search was restricted to English-language articles published from 1966 through July 2012.

✓Craniopagus twins represent a rare phenomenon of congenital misfortune. Modern neurosurgical techniques have created opportunities for successful separation and the promise of a normal existence for these children, who in the past were often left as historical footnotes or put on display as oddities of nature.

Twinning has fascinated human beings over the centuries. New technologies and large study groups have led to improved documentation of frequency and complications in twin pregnancies and long-term outcomes. Artificial reproductive technologies have led to a pronounced rise in numbers of dizygotic and monozygotic twins.
