Abstract

Objective: To investigate the results of therapeutic modalities in second trimester twins, following the birth of the first twin. Methods: Seven cases were investigated for their clinical features and prognosis, in which cases either active conservative treatment was implemented following the birth of first twin or no treatment was implemented to delay the birth of second twin. Findings: The mean gestational week was 18.7 ± 4.1 (13-26). All four cases of no treatment were miscarried. The deliveries of the other three pregnancies with emergency cerclage, were delayed by 2, 40 and 42 days. In these cases, the perinatal prognosis was unsuccessful; however there were no maternal complicatioins. Results: For multiple pregnancies with limited survivability, delayed delivery of the second twin could be tried; the result of prognosis may not be positive in all cases.

Özet

Amaç: ikinci trimester ikizlerde birinci fetüsün doğumunu takiben tercih edilen tedavi seçeneklerinin sonuçlarının araştırılması. Yöntem: Birinci fetüsün doğumundan sonra aktif konservatif tedavi yapılan veya herhangi bir tedavi uygulanmayarak ikinci fetüsün doğumu geciktiren yedi vaka klinik özellikleri ve prognoz yönünden irdelendi. Bulgular: Gebelik haftası ortalama 18.7 ± 4.1 (13-26) bulundu. Konservatif davranılan olguların dördü de kaybedildi. Acil serklaj uygulanan üç gebelikte ikinci fetüsün doğumu 2, 40 ve 42 gün süre ile geciktirilebildi. Bu olgularda perinatal prognoz olumsuz olmakla birlikte maternal komplikasyona rastlanmadı. Sonuç: Yaşayabilirlik sınırına yakın ikizlerde ikinci fetüsün geciktirilmiş doğumu denenebilir, ancak prognoz her zaman yüz güldürücü olmayabilir.
