Question 21

Specific Complications in

Monochorionic Twins

Answer 21

twin to twin transfusion in 10%

Congenital malformation. Twice that of
singleton. X2

Umbilical cord anomalies. In 3 – 4 %.

Conjoined twins. Rare 1:70000 deli
varies.

Question 22

twin to twin transfusion result from

Answer 22

vascular anastemosis
between twins vessels at the placenta.

Usually arterio (donor) venous
(recipient).

Occurs in 10% of monochorionic twins.

,the donor bleeds
into the recipient so one is pale with
oligohydraminose while the other is
polycythemic with hydraminose.

he donor twin is usually smaller and has oligohydramnios due to decreased urine production, whereas the recipient is larger with polyhydramnios due to polyuria.6 days ago
