Delayed delivery intervals in quadruplets can lead to good outcomes for remaining fetuses. This case study shows prolonged interdelivery periods are feasible in higher-order multiples.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Neonatology

Background:

  • Higher-order multiple gestations, such as quadruplets, present unique challenges in obstetric management.
  • Prolonging interdelivery intervals in preterm multiple births has shown promise for improving fetal outcomes.

Observation:

  • A case of quadruplets conceived via gonadotropin induction is presented.
  • The first infant was delivered preterm at 26 weeks' gestation, followed by a cessation of contractions.
  • The remaining triplets remained in separate amniotic sacs with stable fetal heart rates.

Findings:

  • Delayed delivery was achieved using bed rest and tocolysis, with the second infant born 8 days later.
  • Placental abruption necessitated cesarean delivery of the final two infants 36 hours after the second delivery.

  • While the first infant succumbed to prematurity complications, the surviving triplets achieved normal neurodevelopmental outcomes at one year.

    • Implications:

    • This case demonstrates the feasibility of extending interdelivery intervals in higher-order multiple gestations.
    • Watchful expectancy and tocolysis are viable strategies for managing preterm births in quadruplets.
    • Successful prolonged intervals can improve outcomes for fetuses remaining in utero in complex multiple pregnancies.
