Abstract

The twin-twin transfusion syndrome, associated with acute polyhydramnios in the 18th to 28th week of gestation, has a high perinatal mortality rate. Patients managed without intervention have essentially a 100% mortality rate for the involved twins. Different methods of intervention have been described, including therapeutic amniocentesis, selective feticide, and placental vessel puncture. In this case report we describe selective removal of one twin at 21 weeks of gestation by hysterotomy in a patient with the twin-twin transfusion syndrome.The twin-twin transfusion syndrome, associated with acute polyhydramnios in weeks 18-28 of gestations has a high perinatal mortality rate.
