Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence is a syndrome with poor prognosis, seen only in monochorionic monozygotic twin pregnancies. The incidence is one in 35.000 births and one in 100 monozygotic twin pregnancies. It is characterized with a recipient fetus exhibiting lethal anomalies including acardia and a pump fetus. Mortality is usually due to heart failure or premature labor caused by polyhydramnios of pump fetus. Herein, we report a case of TRAP sequence that emphasizes the importance of gray-scale and color Doppler imaging in the diagnosis and management of TRAP sequence.
双胎反向动脉灌注序列征(TRAP)是一种预后不良的综合征,仅见于单绒毛膜单卵双胎妊娠。发病率为每35000例出生中有1例,每100例单卵双胎妊娠中有1例。其特征是受血胎儿出现包括无心畸形等致命异常以及一个供血胎儿。死亡率通常归因于供血胎儿羊水过多导致的心力衰竭或早产。在此,我们报告一例TRAP序列征病例,强调了灰阶和彩色多普勒成像在TRAP序列征诊断和管理中的重要性。
