Jejunal atresia related to the use of toluidine blue in genetic amniocentesis in twins.

Since 1990 avoidance of methylene blue as a dye in diagnostic amniocentesis is recommended. This is the result of the observation that a high incidence of jejuno-ileal atresia appeared in twin pregnancies following intraamniotic injection of methylene blue. We report a case of jejunal atresia in twins after injection of toluidine blue.
