The role of ultrasound examination in the first trimester and at 16 weeks' gestation to predict fetal complications in monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the value of ultrasound examination in the first trimester and at 16 weeks to predict fetal complications in monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies, defined as the occurrence of either twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, severe discordant growth, or intrauterine death.
STUDY DESIGN: We identified risk factors to predict a complicated fetal outcome in the first trimester and ...
Invasive therapeutic procedures in monochorionic twins Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Monochorionic twin pregnancies (MC) are associated with a higher risk of complications than their bichorionic equivalents. When two fetuses share the same placenta, the two fetal circulations are closely bound by omnipresent vascular anastomoses. The determination of the chorionicity is essential for an adequate management of these particular pregnancies. The twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is one of the. possible complications and ...

Discordance for retinitis pigmentosa in two monozygotic twin pairs Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of genetically heterogeneous diseases with progressive degeneration of the retina. The condition can be inherited as an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked trait.
METHODS:
We report on two female twin pairs. One twin of each pair is affected with RP, the other twin is unaffected, both clinically and functionally.Molecular analysis in both twins included ...
Twin anemia polycythemia sequence from a prenatal perspective Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
OBJECTIVES: To describe the prevalence, management and outcome of spontaneous twin anemia polycythemia sequence (TAPS) diagnosed in the prenatal period.
METHOD: Retrospective analysis of 142 consecutive monochorionic twin pregnancies not diagnosed with twin to twin transfusion syndrome. TAPS cases were identified based on the presence of discordant middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA-PSV) measurements and signs suggestive ...
