Haemorrhage into co-twin - what does this mean
Haemorrhage into co-twin is a condition that occurs when there is bleeding from one twin into the other. it is most common in monochorionic twins, where two embryos develop from the same fertilized egg and share the same placenta. the haemorrhage can occur when the placental vascular connections between the twins are damaged, leading to a transfer of blood from one twin to the other.
What happens during the disease - haemorrhage into co-twin
Haemorrhage into co-twin is a rare condition that occurs when one of the twins in a monochorionic diamniotic (mcda) twin pregnancy develops a vascular connection with its co-twin and begins to bleed. this can be caused by an abnormality in the placental circulation, which can lead to an imbalance in the flow of blood between the twins and can result in a haemorrhage. other risk factors include preterm labour, abnormal umbilical cord insertion, and maternal hypertension. if left untreated, it can lead to severe complications, including death of one or both twins. treatment involves careful monitoring of the pregnancy and delivery of the twins at the appropriate gestational age.
