Abstract

Objectives: To add to the nascent literature on twin anemia polycythemia sequence by presenting a unique cardiac complication in the recipient twin.

Case presentation: We describe a monochorionic diamniotic pregnancy complicated by twin anemia polycythemia sequence wherein the recipient twin developed signs of right heart failure secondary to premature ductus arteriosus constriction, requiring iatrogenic preterm delivery to avoid intrauterine demise.

Conclusions: This case report introduces a previously undescribed complication of twin anemia polycythemia sequence and adds to the growing literature on this clinical entity.

一例罕见的双胞胎贫血，红细胞增多症序列合并过早动脉导管收缩的受体双胞胎。

目的：通过介绍受体双胞胎中一个独特的心脏并发症来补充关于双胞胎贫血性红细胞增多症序列的新生文献。病例介绍：我们描述了一个单绒毛膜双羊膜妊娠合并双胞胎贫血红细胞增多症序列，其中受体双胞胎出现继发于动脉导管过早收缩的右心衰迹象，需要医源性早产以避免宫内死亡。结论：本病例报告介绍了先前未描述的双胞贫血多红细胞增多症序列的并发症，并增加了关于该临床实体的文献。

期刊介绍： Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. The objective of the new journal is very similar to that of JPM. In addition to evidence-based studies, practitioners in clinical practice esteem especially exemplary reports of cases that reveal specific manifestations of diseases, its progress or its treatment. We consider case reports and series to be brief reports describing an isolated clinical case or a small number of cases. They may describe new or uncommon diagnoses, unusual outcomes or prognosis, new or infrequently used therapies and side effects of therapy not usually discovered in clinical trials. They represent the basic concept of experiences for studies on representative groups for further evidence-based research. The potential roles of case reports and case series are: Recognition and description of new diseases Detection of drug side effects (adverse or beneficial) Study of mechanisms of disease Medical education and audit Recognition of rare manifestations of disease.
