A Case Report Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Syndrome (TRAP or Acardiac Twin) – A Case Report
A Case Report
Keywords:
A Cardiac twin, fetal anomaly
Abstract
Acardiac Twin known as TRAP (Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion) syndrome is rare and serious complication of mono-zygotic multiple gestation. This results in existence of Acardiac twin which fails to develop head, upper limbs, heart and dependent upon normal twin to provide circulation by means of vascular anastomosis. The pump twin although structurally normal will have high morbidity and mortality. This case report presents an antenatally diagnosed mono chorionic twin pregnancy with delivery of normal twin and Acardiac amorphous co-twin.
