Selective intrauterine growth restriction and vascular abnormalities of monochorionic placentation

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: It is reported the clinical case of a biamnionic monochorionic twin gestation, with selective intrauterine growth restriction diagnosed at 18 weeks in the second twin and significant weight discordance, with intermittently absent end-diastolic umbilical artery flow. Possible etiology, diagnosis, classification, clinical outcome and prognosis are discussed. This is not a situation of wide acceptance yet, but in recent studies it seems to identify a subgroup with a high risk of death in the smaller twin and neurological damage in the other one.
