A successful pregnancy outcome with vaginal delivery of a term single live fetus in case of twin pregnancy with other twin papyraceous, (vanished in second trimester) is an uncommon finding. Ten percent of all perinatal deaths are related with dizygotic twins. The rate of intrauterine fetal demise in multiple pregnancies is as high as three times of monozygotic. Most frequently used and suggest...

Background: Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder that is identified by signs of nephrosis, severe proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema. It is a component of glomerulonephrosis, in which different degrees of proteinuria may occur. The complications of this syndrome may include blood clots, infections, and high blood pressure. Essentially, decreased protein through the kidneys (proteinuria)...

Fetal arrhythmias are diagnosed in 1 to 3% of pregnancies, of which supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) constitutes 10% (Reed, 1989). Sustained fetal SVT with a heart rate more than 220 beats per minute (bpm) can result in congestive heart failure and nonimmune hydrops, which is associated with a poor outcome (Simpson and Sharland, 1998). SVT in twin pregnancy is infrequently reported and poses ...

Ann Saudi Med 2006;26(4):333 A 20-year-old woman, primigravida, with a last menstrual period 8 weeks ago, presented with lower abdominal pain for two days and vaginal bleeding for one day. The gynecological examination found vaginal bleeding, no enlargement in uterine size, and a painful mass 4 centimeters in diameter in the right adnexal region. The serum β-HCG level was 8200 mIU/mL. Transvagi...

Objectives: In multifetal pregnancies abnormalities within the umbilical cord occur much more frequently than in single pregnancy. This may be related to the presence of intra-uterine congestion, which is observed in the case of simultaneous development of a greater number of fetuses. These abnormalities may be responsible, at least in some cases, for high rate of perinatal morbidity and mortal...

background: spontaneous occurrences of multifetal pregnancies always have been a medical problem. the risks of perinatal morbidity and mortality and maternal morbidity increase with enhancement of the number of fetuses. in our prospective experimental study, the outcome of twin pregnancy after assisted reproductive technologies (art) with and without multifetal pregnancy reduction (mfpr) is com...

BACKGROUND Diabetes in pregnancy has been associated with a paradoxically reduced risk of neonatal death in twin pregnancies. Risk "shift" may be a concern in that the reduction in neonatal deaths may be due to an increase in fetal deaths (stillbirths). This study aimed to clarify the impact of diabetes on the risk of perinatal death (neonatal death plus stillbirth) in twin pregnancies. METHO...

Background: Twin-twin transfusion syndrome is an important complication of monochorionic placentation in twin pregnancy. The management this condition Nigeria and many other developing countries has always been “watchful expectancy” with attendant high perinatal morbidity mortality. Amnioreduction a less demanding treatment option compared fetoscopic laser coagulation terms cost expertise, but ...
