Introduction: Multiple pregnancy is simultaneous development of more than one fetus in uterus. Multifetal gestations are found to be associated with significantly higher maternal morbidity and health care service costs. Women multifetal gestation nearly six times likely hospitalized complications, including preterm labor, preeclampsia, premature rupture membrane, placental abruption, hydramnios...

The incidence of multifetal pregnancies has increased dramatically over the past two decades, mainly because of the widespread use of ovulation induction agents and assisted reproduction techniques. These techniques have been a matter of concern since twin and higher order pregnancies have long been associated with an increased risk of maternal complications as well as a high prevalence of pren...

The risk of preterm delivery (< 37 weeks of gestation) is approximately nine times higher in women with multifetal pregnancies than in women with singleton pregnancies. However, it is possible that the risk will vary according to gestational week. To assess the risk of premature birth within 1 week by gestational age among multifetal pregnancies and compare the estimated risk with that of singl...

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...

Acardia twin is a rare, unique complication of monochorionic pregnancy. A 2.6% incidence among twins has been cited. In such complications with abnormal or non-functional heart perfused by its co-twin via placental arterial anastomosis. The acardia poorly developed and upper torso. We present case in which the fetal demise one fetus pregnancy diagnosed first trimester, but patient wishes to con...

Multifetal pregnancies are estimated to represent 3.2% of all (80% dichorionic and 20% monochorionic) associated with a higher risk perinatal morbidity mortality relative single pregnancies. Single fetal loss twin pregnancy during the first trimester is not an uncommonevent seems impair further development surviving one. In gestational losses where fetus retained intrauterine for at least 10 we...
