[Anatomic study of a omphalosite monster].

T Scheye, P Dechelotte, P Billet

    Bulletin De L'Association Des Anatomistes
    |June 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study details the anatomical features of a twin holoacardius amorphus monster, diagnosed via echography. Dissection confirmed the malformation, revealing abnormal limbs, digestive structures, and a hypoplastic heart.

    Area of Science:

    • Perinatology
    • Developmental Biology
    • Medical Imaging

    Context:

    • Twin pregnancies present unique challenges and potential complications.
    • Holoacardius amorphus is a rare and severe form of twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence.
    • Early diagnosis of fetal malformations is crucial for management and counseling.

    Purpose:

    • To document and describe the detailed anatomical characteristics of a holoacardius amorphus twin.
    • To correlate echographic findings with post-dissection anatomical observations.
    • To contribute to the understanding of this rare congenital anomaly.

    Summary:

    • Echography diagnosed a twin holoacardius amorphus monster in a presumed normal gemellary pregnancy.
    • Dissection revealed identifiable lower limbs despite pelvic abnormalities, characteristic cephalic malformations, and intestinal atresias.
    • A hypoplastic cardiac structure and a large fluid-filled cavity communicating with the neural tube were noted. The placenta was single with two umbilical cords and extensive anastomoses.

    Impact:

    • Provides a detailed anatomical reference for holoacardius amorphus.
    • Highlights the utility of echography in diagnosing complex fetal malformations.
    • Enhances understanding of TRAP sequence and its manifestations.
