Prenatal diagnosis of an unusual nuchal cord complication in monoamniotic twins.
Obstet Gynecol
October 1994
Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, St. Peter's Medical Center, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Brunswick, USA.
Background: Monoamniotic twin pregnancies are frequently associated with cord entanglement, but such entanglement rarely involves the co-twin's trunk, extremities, or neck.
Case: We report a set of monoamniotic twins in which color Doppler imaging revealed that the cord of twin B was wrapped around the neck of its dead co-twin. This knowledge allowed us to avoid clamping and dividing twin A's nuchal cord during vaginal delivery, preventing asphyxia of twin B.
