View Article and Find Full Text PDFAim: In this article, we present two cases of severe fetal hemolytic anemia based on a beta-thalassaemia trait inherited from a single parent.
Results: These cases, presented at 20 and 28 weeks' gestation, necessitated intra-uterine blood transfusions. This occurrence is remarkable because it challenges the common assumption that beta-thalassaemia typically has no prenatal implications regarding fetal anemia.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate maternal complications following fetoscopic laser surgery (FLS) for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) from 2008 to 2021.
- A total of 637 mothers underwent FLS, resulting in 1559 reported maternal complications, with severe complications occurring in 8.0% of cases.
- The findings highlight that while FLS is an effective treatment for TTTS, it poses significant risks for mothers, warranting thorough discussions with patients about these risks when considering treatment options.
