Abstract

Objectives: Twin pregnancies are the pregnacies that intrauterine and perinatal morbidity and mortaliy is higher when compared to monozygotic pregnancies. Cases: 10% of all perinatal deaths are related with dizygotic twins. In this study we reported four twin pregnancies that had intrauterine death of one twin at 20 th week or later. We analyzed the cases according to maternal age, ultrasonographic findings, results of biochemical tests, birth weeks and perinatal outcomes. One case was monochorionic - monoamniotic and the other three were dichorionic - diamniotic. In two cases other twins died at 9 th and 13 th days after the diagnosis. The other two that were dichorionic - diamniotic reached term without any complications. Conclusion: In case of monofetal death of twin pregnancies, the type of placenta should be analyzed and then follow up and treatment modalities of these cases should be choosen.

Özet

Amaç: Çoğul gebelikler, intrauterin ve perinatal morbidite ve mortalitenin daha fazla görüldüğü gebeliklerdir. Tüm perinatal ölümlerin ortalama %10'unu ikiz gebelikler ile ilgilidir. Olgular: Bu çalışmada ikiz eşinin 20. gebelik haftasında veya daha sonra intrauterin exitus olduğu saptanan 4 olgu sunularak olguların maternal yaş, gebelik sayıları, ultrasonografik bulguları, biyokimyasal testleri, doğum haftaları ve perinatal sonuçları incelendi. Bir olgu monokoryonik - monoamniyotik ve diğer üç olgu ise dikoryonik - diamniotik idi. İki olguda ikiz eşleri tanı konduktan 9 ve 13 gün sonra exitus oldu. Dikoryonik - diamniyotik olan 2 olgu terme kadar ulaştı ve herhangi bir komplikasyon izlenmedi. Sonuç: Monofetal ölüm ile komplike olmuş ikiz gebeliklerde plasenta yapıları tespit edilmeli, tedavi ve takip seçeneği ona göre belirlenmelidir.
