In recent years, the transfer of more than one embryo has become less frequent to diminish multiple pregnancies. Even so, there is still a risk of one embryo splitting into two or even three. This report presents the case of a triamniotic monochorionic gestation in a 35-year-old woman, obtained after the transfer of a single day 5 embryo that had been previously hatched with a laser and subsequently transferred in a fresh IVF cycle.

Article Synopsis
  • The rise in multiple pregnancies is linked to assisted reproductive technology, with a focus on minimizing risks associated with dichorionic triamniotic (DCTA) triplet pregnancies.
  • The article presents two cases where multifetal pregnancy reduction (MFPR) was performed to convert high-risk DCTA triplets to safer dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twins, allowing for a healthier pregnancy outcome.
  • The study suggests that for couples facing multiple pregnancies, reducing DCTA triplets to DCDA twins could be a feasible option, contingent on the clinical assessment of the situation.

Background: The worldwide occurrence of triplet pregnancy is estimated to be 0.093%, with a natural incidence of approximately 1 in 8000. This study aims to analyze the neonatal health status and birth weight discordance (BWD) of triplets based on chorionicity from birth until discharge.

Objective: Monochorionic-triamniotic (MCTA) triplet pregnancies following artificial reproductive technologies are uncommon. We report a case in which one of two transferred embryos differentiated into an MCTA triplet. This study aimed to investigate the potential factors contributing to MCTA triplet pregnancy.

While most dizygotic twins have a dichorionic placenta, rare cases of dizygotic twins with a monochorionic placenta have been reported. The monochorionic placenta in dizygotic twins allows in utero exchange of embryonic cells, resulting in chimerism in the twins. In practice, this chimerism is incidentally identified in mixed ABO blood types or in the presence of cells with a discordant sex chromosome.
