Detecting twin pregnancies requires careful management. This case highlights how lack of prenatal care due to social factors can lead to adverse outcomes, including neonatal death, in twins with complex malformations.

Area of Science:

  • Perinatology
  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Medical Sociology

Background:

  • Twin pregnancies present unique obstetric challenges requiring specialized antenatal surveillance.
  • Social determinants of health, such as socioeconomic status, can significantly impact access to essential prenatal care.
  • Congenital malformations in twins can range in severity, influencing perinatal outcomes.

Observation:

  • This case involved a twin pregnancy where standard antenatal ultrasound evaluations were not performed.
  • The absence of prenatal screening was attributed to the mother's challenging social circumstances.
  • The twins presented with complex congenital abnormalities.

Findings:

  • The complexity of the observed malformations was a critical factor in the twins' prognosis.

  • Despite the pregnancy being detected, the lack of prenatal care and the severity of abnormalities led to a poor outcome.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the critical need for accessible prenatal care, irrespective of social conditions, for optimal twin pregnancy outcomes.
    • It highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and management of congenital malformations in multiple gestations.
    • The study emphasizes the link between social barriers, prenatal care access, and neonatal mortality in twin births.
