... uterus. Patient and Methods: A 36-year-old women with the help of gamete intrafallopean transfer conceived triplets in a uterus didelphys. This pregnancy was further complicated by anencephaly of one of the triplets. The patient was managed by a combination of chorionic villi sampling and selective...

... pregancies, as the data in various studies are somewhat confusing, possibly as a result of the small number of cases. The data so gathered were classified by the number of fetuses. Of 94 triplet pregnancies reduced to twins 91.6% survived. Of 108 quadruplet pregnancies reduced to twins 92.6% survived. Of 40...

... is not commonly done, as it poses significant risks to the fetus. Furthermore, appropriate antenatal treatment of neonates is controversial. We describe the case of a 32-year-old woman with chronic severe ITP and a previous severely affected infant, pregnant with trichorionic triplets, who was successfully...

... at a single institution between 1982 and 1999 are included. Results: Triplets, quadruplets and quintuplets were delivered at a mean gestational age of 31 + 5, 29 + 5 and 28 + 4 weeks, respectively. The perinatal mortality was 14 for triplets and 36 for quadruplets. No quintuplet died in the perinatal period...
