Abstract

our centre, at between 26 to 33 weeks of gestation in order to screen for subtle fetal cerebral lesions. Gestational age was established according to crown-rump length. Fetal cerebral maturation was characterized according to gyration for gestational age in both twins. One donor presented a delay in fetal cerebral maturation at 28 weeks of gestation. This fetus had growth retardation < 3th percentile. Delayed gyration consisted of a 2 week-delay as compared to that of its co-twin. Neurological development was normal in both twins at 3, 6 and 12 months of age. In conclusion, delay in fetal brain maturation may occur in TTTS even in cases with two survivors and a normal outcome. This should be accounted for in the follow-up of these cases.
