“…Gnatho-thoracopagus is used to describe cases of conjoined twins with union involving the mandible and the thorax. Only few cases have been described in the literature [2][3][4][5][6] . High-resolution transvaginal ultrasound imaging as early as 8-12 weeks of gestational age represents the standard method of diagnosis.…”

Background: Conjoined twins may present an extremely wide range of complex congenital malformations. Because of the increasing number of attempts to separate them surgically, profound knowledge is needed of this abnormality spectrum. Case: Ultrasonographic, radiological (X-ray, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) and pathological findings of gnatho-thoracopagus conjoined twins at 18 weeks of gestation are reported, focusing on clinical topographic correlations. Conclusions: High-resolution imaging techniques may provide useful information for surgery or autopsy planning of cases with complex congenital malformations.

“…There are also some rare complications which have been reported in high-order pregnancies, but due to the limited number of cases, no guidelines are available. Fetofetal transfusion has been reported in quadruplet pregnancies [104][105][106] as well as quadruplet pregnancies with conjoined twins [107,108]. Another complication that has been described in a quadruplet pregnancy was the rupture of an unscarred uterus, raising the debate of the ideal delivery time for a high-order pregnancy [109].…”

Multiple Pregnancy - New Challenges

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A high-order pregnancy is always a challenge not only for the couple but also for the obstetrician, the pediatricians, the midwives, and the whole stuff of an obstetric clinic. The breakthroughs of infertility treatments have made more couples to postpone the birth of their children until they feel professionally and financially safe, many times after the age of 40. The advanced age of the mother puts extra pressure to the clinician for immediate success, leading to a rise of high-order pregnancies until the introduction of regulations and laws in many countries. The cost of a quadruplet and quintuplet pregnancy can be unbearable, not only financially but also psychologically. The management of such a pregnancy is also challenging since its beginning and to the end. Modern techniques and methods can also be difficult to be implemented on a quadruplet of quintuplet pregnancy because of the fear of losing four or five embryos at once. At the same time, the limited number of cases makes it almost impossible for studies to be made and guidelines to be established for most of the cases.
