Area of Science:

  • Perinatology
  • Medical Genetics
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Multiple pregnancies present unique challenges in prenatal diagnosis and management.
  • Severe congenital malformations require careful consideration regarding intervention and prognosis.
  • Discordant malformations in multiple gestations can complicate decision-making.

Observation:

  • Three cases of multiple pregnancies with severe discordant malformations were identified.
  • Diagnoses included anencephaly, myelomeningocele, and prune belly syndrome.
  • The malformations varied significantly between fetuses within the same pregnancy.

Findings:

  • Ultrasound was effective in diagnosing these complex congenital anomalies.
  • The severity and discordance of malformations led to a decision against surgical intervention.
