Abstract

Introduction: Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a serious complication in monochorionic multiple pregnancies. Case Illustration: A-38 years old woman with G3P2AO felt 8 months pregnant and came for polyclinic control with the diagnosis of G3P2A0 gravida 34-35 weeks; Gemelli; Baby I Breech position; Baby I Polyhydramnios, IUFD; Suspected Twin Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS Quintero V). However, atypical findings of TTTS are rarely found and should be taken as special notes such in this case. We will report a rare finding of TTTS in which the SDP level of the donor fetus was normal (not oligohydramnios). The suspected diagnosis of TTTS Quintero V in this case was made clinically based on the maternal-fetal ultrasound findings of a diamniotic monochorionic gemelli pregnancy with IUFD in the 2nd fetus II. However, there were non-standard findings in this case where the SDP level of the donor fetus was normal (not oligohydramnios). No other sequele complications were found in this case based on other examinations. Conclusions: Several therapies are available for TTTS including amnioreduction, laser ablation of the vascular placental anastomosis, selective feticide, and septostomy. Timing of delivery after management of singleton fetal death in the late second or early third trimester is debatable. Delivery method is determined based on obstetric indications.

Abstract

Objective: Multiple congenital anomalies present significant diagnostic and management dilemmas, particularly in resource-limited settings. Globally, these conditions affect approximately 1 in 33 infants and are a major contributor to perinatal mortality. We report a rare case of a term pregnancy with severe, undiagnosed multiple congenital anomalies, highlighting the challenges in diagnosis, delivery management, and counseling in a developing country.Case Illustration: A 22-year-old primigravida presented at 35-36 weeks of gestation in active labor with a fetus in breech presentation. Antenatal ultrasonography at 27 weeks had revealed a single live fetus with severe fetal growth restriction, polyhydramnios, and multiple structural anomalies suspicious for an underlying trisomy. Amniocentesis was offered for a definitive diagnosis but was declined by the family. A female neonate was delivered via spontaneous vaginal breech delivery, with low APGAR scores. The infant was admitted to the High Care Unit for respiratory support but passed away the following day due to respiratory failure. The family had opted for a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) status.Conclusions: In cases of severe fetal anomalies detected by ultrasound, advanced genetic testing like NIPT followed by diagnostic testing should be offered to facilitate definitive diagnosis and counseling. Delivery decisions in such cases should be individualized, prioritizing maternal safety while considering the fetal prognosis. This case underscores the urgent need for improved access to and awareness of genetic counseling and diagnostic services in developing countries to optimize perinatal outcomes.Keywords: breech presentatoin, developing countries, genetic counceling, multiple congenital anomalies, prenatal diagnosis.
