INTRODUCTION Twin pregnancy is a high-risk pregnancy with different prevalences in different regions of the world which is on the rise due to growing use of assisted reproductive technology. The objective of this study is to determine the frequency of twin pregnancy and the neonatal outcome of these pregnancies. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a descriptive-analytic study conducted in 2004-2007...

UNLABELLED Twin pregnancy generally represents a high-risk pregnancy, but monozygous twin pregnancy is a real challenge for the obstetrician due to the serious complications that may occur during its evolution. A very rare, severe complication of monozygous twin pregnancy, which we recently dealt with in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the University Emergency Hospital Bucharest, wa...

Objective: To compare the incidence and severity of pregnancy-induced hypertensive disorders in twin pregnancy and in singleton gestation. Study design: Case-control study in the setting of a University HOspital. Each pregnancy of a consecutive series of 187 twin pregnancies attending the antenatal clinic and booked before a gestational age of 24 weeks was matched for maternal age, parity, and ...

Background: Monochorionic twin gestations are at increased risk of a variety of pregnancy complications which can be minimized by early antepartum diagnosis and management. This study is to assess the influence of chorionicity in twin pregnancies on perinatal outcome. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted at, Institute of maternal and child health Calicut over a period of one...

BACKGROUND Twin pregnancy is associated with more pregnancy complications and poorer pregnancy outcome than singleton pregnancy. Hence periodic review is necessary to improve on the pregnancy outcome. OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence and compare pregnancy complications and obstetric outcomes of twin pregnancies and singleton pregnancies. MATERIALS AND METHODS The twin pregnancies (study...

Monochorionic monoamniotic (MM) twin pregnancy carries a high risk of intrauterine fetal death (IUFD). Single IUFD in an MM twin pregnancy prior to 22 weeks of gestation has been reported to be strongly correlated with double twin demise. To our knowledge, there are no case reports on the natural course of a surviving co-twin in an MM twin pregnancy resulting in live birth after a single IUFD p...
