Diferential dagnosis in twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome: methodology and clinical cases

Abstract

In monochorionic twins there exist some specific complications as twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome and selective growth restriction that could have some common features. Also in case of non-immune hydrops of one of the fetuses it could mimic the clinical features of severe twin-to-twin transfusion. In this article we describe three cases of monochorionic twins with different conditions and discuss the best way to differentiate between these diagnoses.
