Abstract

|
Single fetal death in the late second or the third trimester in twin pregnancy is associated with high mortality and morbidity of surviving co-twin. Monochorionic twins have an increased risk of intrauterine fetal death, its prognosis is poor, and assoiated with neurological damage in the surviving co-twin. And renal, cutaneous, pulmonary, gastrointestinal complications are also reported. Especially, survivals with twin-to-twin transfusion are at risk for development of renal insufficiency, periventricular leukomalaca, and necrotizing enterocolitis. In this report, we present a case of surviving co-twin complicated with periventricular leukomalacia and necrotizing enterocolitis delivered after intrauterine single death in twin pregnancy.
