Spontaneously Conceived Quintuplets Pregnancy: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
The incidence of a higher-order multiple pregnancy has increased over the past few decades mainly due to assisted reproductive techniques. Quintuplets are a rare occurrence, rarer if it is a spontaneous conception. The survival of the neonates in high order pregnancies is still rarer. Quintuplet pregnancies are high risk pregnancies associated with high rates of obstetric complications and significant perinatal morbidity and mortality. The crux of better outcome depends on early diagnosis, regular antenatal care, serial ultrasound monitoring and neonatal care in expert hands.
