Article Synopsis
- - The TRAP (Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion) sequence occurs in monochorionic pregnancies where one fetus is healthy and the other is non-viable, leading to risks like high-output cardiac failure in the viable twin.
- - A 32-year-old woman with TRAP syndrome experienced contractions and spotting at 26 weeks and underwent a cesarean section after concerns of placental abruption; her viable twin was born but later died due to prematurity complications.
- - This case emphasizes the need for early detection and ongoing prenatal care in managing TRAP syndrome, while also calling for more research into interventions that improve outcomes for affected pregnancies.
