- Abstract
Twin-twin transfusion syndrome occurs in multiple gestations and involves a chronic flow of blood from one twin to another twin and is a rare entity. We present a case of 32-years-old primigravida with a twin pregnancy who presented with increasing abdominal girth inappropriate with her gestational age at 21 weeks of her pregnancy. Ultrasound findings were suggestive of twin-twin transfusion syndrome. The patient was provided with treatment options but due to polyhydramnios and short cervix, the patient went into spontaneous labour the same day with a poor pregnancy outcome. Twin-twin transfusion syndrome leads to a high rate of perinatal morbidity due to its poorly understood aetiology and difficulty in diagnosing and treatment. Early diagnosis during antenatal ultrasound is important in reducing morbidity and mortality rates
