✦ Synopsis

A case of twin-twin transfusion is presented with hydrops occurring twice in the recipient twin and resolving. Polyhydramnios was treated with numerous volume-reducing amniocenteses (amnioreductions), which were performed prior to both occurrences of hydrops. Amnioreductions were only performed before the first resolution of hydrops, whereas betamethasone was given prior to both episodes of hydrops resolving. Steroids may be useful not just in case of premature delivery but also to help a compromised fetus cope in utero.
