case 1 Shi ××, 548611, 26 years old chief complaint : gravida 1 para 0, 27 weeks of gestation, found
dyspnea one week and prostration three days. Present history : last menstrual period (LMP):12,June,2011.
estimated date of conception(EDC):19, March,2012. Urine chorionic gonadotrophin(HCG) was positive at thirty-seven days of gestation and the morning sickness was severe. One sac was found through altrasound in the first trimester. Regular prenatal examination was not perform. Twin pregnancy was found at 25 weeks of gestation. Dyspnea one week and prostration three days.
Physical examination : T:36.8°C, P 98 counts per minute , R 18 counts per minute , BP 100/65mmHg ,

Question 2:management
An amnioreduction of 6.2 L was performed in the recipient sac. Tocolytics (magnesium sulfate ) were administered. Follow up: ultrasound weekly

ten days later
Ultrasound surveillance : anuria and virtually no amniotic fluid in the donor twin, polyuria
and excess amniotic fluid in the recipient, and abnormal umbilical
venous and ductus venosus flows in both twins.

Question 4:management
Termination: Cesarean section One hours later, premature donor and recipient twin boys were delivered,
weighing 895 and 1450 g, with haemoglobin levels of 16.4 and 22.9 g/dl, all associated with severe TTTS. In addition, in this case the neonatal criteria of TTTS were valid (a difference of >25% in birth weight, and >5 g/dl Hb). Both infants required mechanical ventilation and administration of surfactant due to respiratory distress syndrome. The donor twin developed acute renal failure and necrotising enterocolitis which required surgery. The recipient developed the polycythaemiae hyperviscosity syndrome which required a partial exchange transfusion. Both children are alive.
Check the placenta after delivery: one placenta, two layer of membrane partition that separated twin fetuses

discordance weight of twins one day. Present history : last menstrual period (LMP):10,september,2010.
estimated date of conception(EDC):17, June,2011. Urine chorionic gonadotrophin(HCG) was positive at thirty-five days of gestation and the morning sickness was severe. Two sac was found through altrasound in the first trimester. Twin peak and amniotic separation was record at 13 weeks of gestation. No abnormal results through the regular prenatal examination. Discordance weight of twins was found today.

Quintero staging systemQuintero staging system Stage I: polyhydramnios(>8cm) in recipient / aligodramnios(<2cm) in
donor, but urine still visible sonographically within the donor twin's but urine still visible sonographically within the donor twin's bladder bladder
Stage II: II–criteria of stage I, but urine is not visible within the donor's II–criteria of stage I, but urine is not visible within the donor's bladder bladder
Stage III: criteria of stage II and abnormal Doppler studies of the criteria of stage II and abnormal Doppler studies of the umbilical artery, ductus venosus, or umbilical vein. Such as umbilical artery, ductus venosus, or umbilical vein. Such as AEDF in donor, higher RI of umbilical artery and lower umbilical artery and lower RI of middle cerebral artery in recipient.

Stage II-IV :1. amnioreduction ( recipient )2. laser ablation of vascular anastomoses,
3. selective feticide (donor)
4. septostomy (intentional creation of a communication in the dividing amnionic membrane).
5. abortion (both fetus)

Stage I: follow up, ultrasound weekly ( amniotic fluid volum ) , amnioreduction necessary
Stage II-IV : Cesarean section

Outcome
No interventional therapy : nervous system integrity of survival fetus <5% ;
Outcome of interventional therapy :1. minimally invasive approaches (amnioreduction and/or microseptostomy
therapy): survival rate of one fetus is 60%, survival rate of both is 40-45%, however nervous system abnormalities is 25-60% ;
2. laser : survival rate of one fetus is 85% , survival rate of both is 70% , nervous system abnormalities is 7-15% ;

Discordant Twins (one IUGR) Distinguish with TTTS One small , the other normal. One oligohydramnios , the other normal volum of amniotic fluid .

Discordant Twins (one IUGR) ( MC/DA ) 10-20% IUGR fetus will die and result in the bad outcome of nervous
system in 20% survival fetus Treatment Protocols ( before 26 weeks ):1. Expect treatment, close ongoing surveillance, terminate in time if
abnormal ultrasonic apperance: 10-20% small fetus will die, then accompany to 50% death of large fetus.
2. Termination of pregnancy : abortion
3. Laser : 2/3 small fetus will die , but large fetus all survive.
4. RFA or bipolar coagulation: selective to terminate the IUGR fetus 。

Discordant Twins (one IUGR) ( DC/DA ) Before 28 weeks: follow up, ultrasound weekly. After 28 weeks: intensive care, terminate in time if abnormal
apperance.
