Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome presents in the mid-trimester with gross discordance in amniotic fluid volume, and complicates 10-15 per cent of monochorionic twins. Recent studies suggest a primary vascular basis in which a paucity of the bidirectional superficial anastomoses normally found in mo

We describe a pair of monochorionic twins with clinical manifestation of twin-twin transfusion syndrome, including discordant fetal growth, hydrops of the larger twin, and the 'stuck twin' phenomenon of the smaller twin. In the hydropic twin, we found agenesis of the ductus venosus and an abnormal u
Twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a severe in utero complication of monozygotic twin pregnancies. It occurs as a result of blood transfer through anastomotic vessel in the placenta.' Both acute and chronic forms of TTTS have been clinically described. In the acute form, a significant amount o
