Twin twin transfusion syndrome occurs in multiple gestations and involves the clıronic flow from one twin to its co-twin. The diagnosis of twin-to- twin transfusion syndrome whether made antenatally or postnatally is problematic.
Olgu
A primigravida aged 17 years old was referred to our hospital at 22 weeks of gestation. She was pregnant with monochorionic- monoamniotic twins as detected by ultrasound (US) in the secontl trimester. Female twins were delivered, the recipient twin weighing 600gr. with hemoglobin 39.3 gr/dl, total bilirubine 1.9 gr/dl and the donor twin 360 gr, pale with hemoglobin 35.1 and total bilirubine 3.4 gr/dl as deseribed by Okamura et al.
Sonuç
It is thought that when twin-to- twin transfusion syndrome is suspected the cordocentesis or any other invasive technique may not be cost effective and it is time consuming and risky for the pregnancy outcome and does not effect the outcome in some cases as thought to be so as in ours.
