Introduction: Abnormal growth, including discordant growth and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), occurs frequently in twin pregnancies and has been associated with increased risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Typically this occurs in the second or third trimester. Discordant growth in monochorionic twin pregnancies is probably related with the complications of a shared placenta. It is not clear wh...
As emergências obstétricas são eventos raros e inesperados. O modelo tradicional para a formação médica nestes eventos críticos apresenta limitações óbvias. Dada a variedade de competências técnicas e o ambiente de alto risco em que são aplicadas, a obstetrícia é uma especialidade que se adequa totalmente ao treino através de técnicas ou tecnologias aplicadas à Medicina ou Obstetrícia. Este modelo de aprendizag...
OVERVIEW AND AIMS: Multiple pregnancy accounts for about 3% of all pregnancies. The monochorionic pregnancy presents a relatively constant incidence (1:250 pregnancies) unlike the dichorionic, which is influenced by race, heredity, maternal age, parity and medically assisted procreation. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the impact of chorionicity on perinatal morbidity of twin pregnancy. POPULATION AND ...
The presence of acute peripartum anaemia in a monochorionic twin pregnancy represents a clinical challenge requiring prompt recognition and management. Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a major complication of these pregnancies and a medical emergency in its acute form. Acute intrapartum fetoplacental transfusion (AIFT) has been reported infrequently. The authors present a case of a probable acute TTT...
Between January of 1987 and December of 2001 were born 1243 twins related to 609 multiple pregnancies, in Maternidade Bissaya-Barreto. Data were grouped in periods of three years and several parameters were studied. The rate of multiple gestation has increased probably due to the contribution of the assisted conception techniques, and to the increase of the number of multiple fetal pregnancies (two or more) and...
Primary hyperparathyroidism is a rare occurrence in pregnancy with significant risks to the mother and the foetus, witch is related to the level of serum calcium. A 41-year-old women, gravida 2, para 1, presented at 22 weeks gestation with nausea, vomiting and mild cognitive dysfunction associated with hypercalcemic crisis. The hypercalcemia was observed to be related to parathyroid hyperplasia that was surgica...
