Consequences of fetomaternal haemorrhage after intrauterine transfusion.
Fetomaternal haemorrhage was studied after 68 consecutive fetal intravascular transfusions performed in 20 patients with Rh isoimmunisation. alpha Fetoprotein concentration was assayed in maternal blood taken before, and immediately after each transfusion and three and 24 hours later. An increase of 50% or more in the concentration in any of the samples after transfusion was considered to indic...
متن کاملMonochorionic triplets complicated by fetofetal transfusion syndrome: a case series and review of the literature.
OBJECTIVE To compare perinatal outcome in monochorionic (MC) triplets with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) versus dichorionic (DC) triplets with TTTS. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis of all triplets with TTTS treated at our center and all cases reported in the literature between 1990 and 2010. Survival and gestational age at birth of MC and DC triplets were compared and stratifie...
متن کاملIdiopathic chronic fetomaternal haemorrhage resulting in hydrops--a case report.
INTRODUCTION We report a case of idiopathic chronic fetomaternal haemorrhage (FMH) that developed in the late trimester. CLINICAL PRESENTATION The patient presented with decreased fetal movement at 38 weeks gestation. Antenatal follow-up was uneventful with normal serial ultrasound performed at 22 and 35 weeks.

متن کاملDetection of fetomaternal haemorrhage by an immunofluorescence technique.
An inexpensive and simple technique for assessing fetomaternal bleeds in cases of Rh(D) incompatibility is described. The method is unlikely to replace the acid elution technique, but it may be of use in cases where results are in doubt owing to the presence of F cells of maternal origin.
متن کاملFetofetal Transfusion Syndrome in Monochorionic-Triamniotic Triplets Treated with Fetoscopic Laser Ablation: Report of Two Cases and A Systematic Review
Objective This study aims to determine the clinical outcomes of monochorionic-triamniotic (MT) pregnancies complicated by severe fetofetal transfusion undergoing laser photocoagulation. Study Design We report two cases of MT triplets complicated by fetofetal transfusion syndrome (FFTS) and a systematic review classifying cases into different subtypes: MT with two donors and one recipient, MT wi...
