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.

The Lancet, 2003
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.

Twin–twin transfusion syndrome
Clinics in Perinatology, 2003The understanding and management of twin-twin transfusion syndrome has evolved significantly over the past few years. Improved and standardized sonographic diagnostic criteria, understanding of the heterogeneic nature of the syndrome, development of an anatomical and reproducible surgical technique for the identification of vascular anastomoses, and ...

Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1963The twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome is an easily identified circulatory disease of twins which imposes immediate, serious, and critically different handicaps on each of identical twin newborns. The syndrome is characterized by severe anemia in one twin and intense plethora in the other; and it is due to unbalanced vascular mixing due to anastomotic ...

Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome
Postgraduate Medicine, 1970Plethora in one of a pair of monozygotic twins and pallor in the other are now understood as evidence of intrauterine transfer of blood by way of vascular anastomoses in the placenta. The artery-to-vein type of communication acts as an arteriovenous shunt. The syndrome is an important cause of fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Twin‐to‐twin transfusion syndrome
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2007Eighty one percent of case group reported a gross change in quality or quantity of vaginal discharge in the last week of pregnancy, in comparison to 14% with full term pregnant women who reported altered status of vaginal discharge in the time interval of week 28 to week 37 0f their pregnancies (Pb0.000) (Table 2).

The Twin–Twin Transfusion Syndrome
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2004Twinntwin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a complex cardiovascular disease affecting monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancies. Although well characterized clinically, its etiopathogenesis remains poorly understood. TTTS, which affects genetically-identical structurally normal fetuses, primarily involves unbalanced transfusion of blood from a net donor to a ...
