Abstract
Acardiac twin pregnancy is a rare but serious complication of monochorionic twinning. This acardiac twin gestation complicated by reversible severe pulmonary hypertension and biventricular hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in the pump twin demonstrates the importance of antenatal treatment.
Özet
Akardiak ikiz gebelik monokoryonik ikiz gebeliklerin nadir ama ciddi komplikasyonlarından biridir. Burada doğum öncesi izlemi yetersiz olan ve doğumdan sonra ağır pulmoner hipertansiyonla birlikte biventriküler hipertrofik kardiyomiyopati tanısı alan bir akardiak ikiz eşi antenatal izlemin önemine dikkat çekmek için sunulmuştur.
