Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome is a complication that can occur in twin pregnancies where the twins share the same placenta, when blood is distributed unequally between the two through vascular connections.
How it manifests: it is usually detected in ultrasound studies of the pregnancy, when observing differences in the amniotic fluid and in the growth of each baby.
When to see a doctor? Regular prenatal care is key in multiple pregnancies, since it allows for monitoring the evolution of both twins.
Which specialist treats it? Follow-up involves the gynecologist specialized in maternal-fetal medicine, while the cardiologist and the pediatrician participate in the care of the newborn. Maintaining close monitoring during gestation helps to make timely decisions together with the medical team.
