Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Diamniotic dichorionic pregnancies present unique management challenges, especially with threatened preterm labor.
  • Cervical modification and amniotic sac protrusion complicate management and increase risks.

Observation:

  • A 21-week, 5-day gestation diamniotic dichorionic pregnancy with threatened preterm labor.
  • Amniotic sac of the first twin protruded into the vagina, followed by membrane rupture and delivery.

Findings:

  • The first twin was delivered following spontaneous rupture of the membranes.
  • The second twin was successfully delivered via cesarean section 18 days later after medical management and monitoring.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for delayed delivery of a second twin in cases of dichorionic pregnancy with initial sac compromise.

  • Management strategies involving tocolytics, antibiotics, and continuous monitoring can improve outcomes for the second twin.
  • Further research into optimal management protocols for such complex pregnancies is warranted.
