Abstract
Twin-transfusion syndrome affects 15 to 30% of monochorionic biamniotic pregnancies. It is a serious complication of twin pregnancies resulting from a dynamic process of interfoetal blood transfusion as a result of venous-venous or arteriovenous vascular anastomoses. In the present case, which appears to be the first reported case, it seems that these monochorionic twins, who shared the same placenta, presented haemangiomatosis simultaneously in utero, if we accept the hypothesis of grafting of emboli of placental microvessels in the formation of congenital haemangiomas.
