Abstract:
Seen with Monochorionic twin pregnancy, Twin Reversed arterial Perfusion sequence is a very rare condition often considered to have a poor prognosis. The usual incidence is one in 35000 births. Typical findings are of a foetus that continues to grow despite an absent or a rudimentary heart. Often such a foetus has lethal anomalies in association. The acceptable causes of mortality in the Pump twin is due to Premature labour or cardiac failure induced by Polyhydramnios or due to Hypoxia induced IUGR as a result of aberrant vascular anastomosis. Herein, we are reporting a case of complicated Dichorionic-Triamniotic Intrauterine pregnancy presented with this syndrome emphasizing the need for an early diagnosis to institute early corrective measures by using minimally invasive techniques.
