Abstract |
Introduction |
The objective was to report on a consecutive series of monochorionic diamniotic pregnancies complicated by selective Intra-Uterine Growth Restriction (sIUGR) and to describe perinatal outcomes based on whether or not there were umbilical Doppler findings, and specifically to study those pregnancies treated by laser.
Material and methods |
This was a retrospective cohort study enrolling monochorionic diamniotic pregnancies presenting isolated sIUGR after 16 weeks’ gestation (WG).
Results |
Of the 25 cases of sIUGR, 16 were type I and 9 type II or III. Types II and III occurred earlier than type I (22.3 versus 24.3 WG), were more severe (discordance of 37% versus 23%), and delivered earlier (31.3 versus 33.9 WG). Survival was 12/18 (66.7%) for types II or III versus 32/32 (100%) for type I. Five laser photocoagulation procedures were attempted and allowed the survival of both twins in 2 cases. Overall survival after laser was 6/10 (60%).
Discussion |
Isolated sIUGR is associated with high perinatal morbidity and mortality. Laser photocoagulation treatment is feasible and may enable survival of both twins in some cases, but may be technically difficult.
