“…We did not encounter any case of symptomatic DIC contrary to the study by Romero et al [7] who found the incidence of DIC to be 25 %. In a study by Aslan et al, the reported median time interval between single fetal death and delivery was 11 days [14], but we could prolong it up to 5 weeks. The postpartum course was uneventful in all of our cases and all live-born babies were normal and not having any deformity contrary to some studies.…”

“…In addition, it has been reported that premature birth before 34 weeks was more common in monochorionic twin pregnancies with single fetal demise, but this difference was not statistically significant (2). Aslan et al (12) reported without distinction of chorionicity the premature birth rate as 81.3% and 41.6% for the 37 th and 32 nd gestational weeks, respectively.…”

RESUMENLos embarazos múltiples, la mayoría de los cuales son gemelares, tienen un riesgo sustancialmente mayor de morbimortalidad fetal comparado con los embarazos únicos. La muerte fetal de uno de los gemelos en embarazos gemelares monocoriónicos es más frecuente que en embarazos gemelares dicoriónicos. La muerte fetal intrauterina ocurre en 1 a 7% de todos los embarazos gemelares y aumenta considerablemente la tasa de complicaciones del gemelo superviviente, incluyendo pérdida fetal, parto prematuro y daño de órgano final. La edad gestacional en que ocurre la muerte fetal intrauterina y la corionicidad de los embarazos múltiples son los dos factores más importantes al considerar los riesgos del gemelo superviviente. La morbimortalidad de estos embarazos puede disminuir con la identificación del embarazo de riesgo y la vigilancia prenatal intensiva. Los embarazos monocoriónicos son más difíciles de manejar y a menudo los embarazos se interrumpen entre las 34 y 36 semanas. Los embarazos dicoriónicos se pueden interrumpir más cerca del término. Palabras clave. Muerte intrauterina de un gemelo, Muerte fetal intrauterina, Embarazo gemelar. ABSTRACTMultiple pregnancies, most of which are twins, have a substantially increased risk of fetal morbidity and mortality compared to single pregnancies. The fetal death of one of the twins in monochorionic twin pregnancies is more frequent than in twin dichorionic pregnancies. Intrauterine fetal death occurs in 1-7% of all twin pregnancies and greatly increases the rate of complications of the surviving twin including fetal loss, preterm birth, and end organ damage. The gestational age at which intrauterine fetal death occurs and the chorionicity of the multiple pregnancy are the two most important factors when considering the risks of the surviving twin. The morbidity and mortality of these pregnancies may decrease with risk identification and intensive prenatal surveillance. Monochorionic pregnancies are more difficult to manage, and often pregnancies are interrupted at 34-36 weeks. Dichorionic pregnancies can be interrupted closer to term.
