Abstract
|
|
|
|
With the widespread introduction of assisted reproductive techniques, the incidence of multiple pregnancies has increased dramatically in recent years. As a result, preterm labors in the second trimester, premature rupture of the membrane of one fetus are now more commonly encountered. Despite advances in neonatal care, extremely premature newborns have very high mortality and long?term morbidity. Spontaneous cessation of labor following delivery of first twin is uncommon. In selected cases, when one fetus is delivered vaginally very prematurely, the remaining fetus can be retained in uterus to hope for a delayed interval delivery which may improve neonatal survival and decrease neonatal morbidity among the latter?born siblings. We present a case of delayed?interval delivery in twin pregnancy without prophylactic tocolysis or cerclage operation with brief review.
