- - The case involves a twin pregnancy with one twin (twin B) diagnosed via antenatal MRI with a large cystic neck mass that negatively affects the airway and the upper limb.
- - Due to the risk of airway obstruction for twin B, a multidisciplinary team decided to perform an EXIT (ex utero intrapartum treatment) procedure.
