TRUE INTERLOCKING TWINS:THE LESSONS LEARNT
Journal Title: Indian Obstetrics & Gynaecology - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
An extensive literature review reveals that though extremely rare, twin entanglement as a complication of multiple pregnancies cannot be ignored. With more pregnancies being achieved by assisted reproductive technology more cases are likely to be encountered unless strategies to anticipate and prevent its occurrence are put in place. In the worst scenario, perinatal outcome can be improved by mandatory institutional admission in late pregnancy or early labour with vigilance especially during second stage to detect slow /arrested progress during delivery of the first twin. This case highlights how this may not always be possible in low resource settings and depicts why this case had an unfortunate perinatal outcome.
