A case of twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence managed conservatively

The TRAP sequence, also known as acardiac twinning is a rare complication that is unique to monochorioinic multiple pregnancies affecting 1% of monochorioinic pregnancies and about 1 in 35000 of all pregnancies. In TRAP, blood flows from the umbilical artery of the pump twin to the umbilical artery...

description The TRAP sequence, also known as acardiac twinning is a rare complication that is unique to monochorioinic multiple pregnancies affecting 1% of monochorioinic pregnancies and about 1 in 35000 of all pregnancies. In TRAP, blood flows from the umbilical artery of the pump twin to the umbilical artery of the perfused twin through artery to artery (AA) anastomosis. The perfused twin has poor development of the upper extremities and the normal or pump twin is at risk of a poor perinatal outcome. This is a report of a patient with TRAP sequence diagnosed in the second trimester who was managed conservatively and had a good outcome for the normal twin.
