Abstract
Background: We report a case of dizygotic monochorionic triamniotic triplet pregnancy. Twin-twin transfusion syndrome was subsequently diagnosed combined with sex discordance in the two surviving fetuses after one fetus was reduced, which is extremely rare and has not been previously reported.
Case presentation: After reducing one fetus by radiofrequency ablation of a monochorionic triamniotic triplet pregnancy, twin-twin transfusion syndrome was subsequently diagnosed combined with sex discordance in the two surviving fetuses. Amniotic fluid for chromosome analysis showed normal karyotype 46, XY/46, XX of the donor and recipient fetus, and short tandem repeat (STR) analysis revealed dizygotic twins.
Conclusions: Through this is an unusual case, we aim to emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis of chorionicity and zygosity in sex discordant triplet pregnancy, which is the key to appropriate clinical management.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Electronic Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of electronic materials. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrate knowledge in the areas of materials science, engineering, optics, physics, and chemistry into important applications of electronic materials. Sample research topics that span the journal's scope are inorganic, organic, ionic and polymeric materials with properties that include conducting, semiconducting, superconducting, insulating, dielectric, magnetic, optoelectronic, piezoelectric, ferroelectric and thermoelectric.
