Monoamniotic twins pregnancy complicated by a fetal congenital heart defect – a challenge for perinatal decisions
Abstract Objectives To analyze pregnancy management and postnatal follow-up in monochorionic monoamniotic (MCMA) pregnancies complicated by a congenital heart defect (CHD) in one twin and to compare the results with current recommendations concerning time and mode of delivery in MCMA pregnancies. Cases presentation Perinatal medical records of five pairs of monoamniotic twins referred to Fetal Cardiology Department were analyzed. 5 out of 23 MCMA pregnancies (21.7%) were complicated by CHD in one fetus. Cesarean section (CS) was performed between 32 and 35 weeks of gestation (WoG). 9 out of 10 neonates had respiratory failure, including all patients with CHD. Twins without congenital abnormalities spent median 21 days (range 10–40 days) in neonatal units. Patients with CHD were transferred to cardiology departments on average 6th day of life. All were operated on later than term-born neonates, 4 out of 5 required stage surgery and their median stay in the hospital was 75 days (range 48–106 days). Conclusions According to current recommendations, delivery in MCMA pregnancies should be scheduled at 32–34 weeks. In cases complicated by CHD in one twin, such early delivery complicates surgical treatment and may affect the final outcome. Low body weight and respiratory disorders increase the risk of complications in the perioperative period and prolong hospitalization.
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.
