| Abstract: | ObjectiveTwin-Reversed Arterial Perfusion (TRAP) sequence is a rare complication of monochorionic multiple gestation. Conservative management should be considered if there is no poor prognostic factor.Case reportThis is a 35 year-old female with twin pregnancy with acardiac monster. Under the request of the patient, there was no intervention during the whole pregnancy. We keep regular and close sonography weekly follow up. There was no maternal complication and there was also no heart failure sign or polyhydramnios of the donor twin. Minimal blood flow was noted at the anastomotic vessels under the sonography at late gestational age. Due to breech presentation, cesarean section was performed at gestational age 37 + 1/7 weeks. She delivers a healthy baby smoothly.ConclusionAntenatal sonography is an important tool to evaluate the fetus status. Under special condition, term pregnancy is still possible without any treatment.Case reportTwin reversed arterial perfusion syndrome in a monochorionic monoamniotic twin pregnancy. |
