A 26-year old patient with a mosaic (45X/46XX) Turner's syndrome and secondary amenorrhea since the age of 19, was referred to the IVF unit for participation in oocyte donation program. After a complete work up including meticulous cardiological assessment, she had endometrial preparation with a high dose hormonal regimen, and transfer of three embryos derived from donated oocytes. An ongoing trichorionic quadruplet pregnancy was confirmed on ultrasound. The couple was offered fetal reduction to twins at 12 gestational weeks after consultation stressing the risks of a quadruplet pregnancy in general and especially in a patient with Turner's syndrome. No pregnancy or maternal complications were encountered and the patient delivered two healthy babies by lower segment cesarean section after spontaneous rupture of membranes at 36 gestational weeks.
一位 26 岁的患者患有镶嵌型(45X/46XX)特纳综合征,自 19 岁起出现继发性闭经,被转介到试管婴儿(IVF)单位参与捐卵计划。在进行全面检查,包括详细的心脏评估后,她接受了大剂量激素方案的子宫内膜准备,并移植了三个来自捐赠卵子的胚胎。超声检查确认了正在进行的三绒毛膜四胞胎妊娠。在咨询后,夫妇被建议在 12 孕周进行胎儿减灭术以减少为双胞胎,因为一般来说四胞胎妊娠,尤其是特纳综合征患者的四胞胎妊娠风险较高。没有出现妊娠或产妇并发症,患者在 36 孕周胎膜自然破裂后行下段剖宫产术娩出了两个健康的婴儿。
