Multidisciplinary Approach in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Twin Anemia Polycythemia Sequence in Monochorionic Twin Pregnancies: Case Report.

Twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS) in monochorionic twin pregnancies is a potentially serious complication caused by unidirectional vascular anastomoses in the placenta, resulting in one anemic donor twin and one polycythemic recipient twin. Diagnosis of this condition is achieved through Doppler ultrasound assessment of the difference between the MoM of the peak systolic velocity of the middle cerebral artery between the twins, establishing the diagnosis with a delta value >0.5 MoM.

Prenatal Diagnosis of Neu-Laxova Syndrome.

Neu-Laxova syndrome is a rare and lethal genetic disease with autosomal recessive inheritance involving abnormalities of multiple systems. It was first reported in 1971. Since then, just eighty-eight cases have been reported.

Neurological complications after therapy for fetal-fetal transfusion syndrome: a systematic review of the outcomes at 24 months.

Objective: The main objective of this study was to review the available scientific evidence about mid-term neurological outcomes in twins after laser therapy for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).

Methods: A systematic review of studies on neurodevelopmental outcomes (cognition, motor development, communication skills and cerebral palsy) of twins after laser therapy for TTTS was conducted. Outcomes at 24 months of age and the use of validated scales for assessment were the selected criteria.
