RESUMEN
RESUMEN El Síndrome de Transfusión Feto Fetal es una de las complicaciones más severas de los embarazos múltiples que amerita seguimiento estricto y tratamiento oportuno según las características de la patología en cada caso. Esta patología se presenta como una condición de fetos productos de embarazo múltiple monocorial, quienes tienen genotipos idénticos pero adoptan fenotipos cardiovasculares discordantes a consecuencia del desequilibrio en el flujo; esto debido a las múltiples anastomosis placentarias que suelen desarrollarse entre los fetos. Expertos en perinatología han abordado el tema y han postulado diversas alternativas diagnósticas y terapéuticas, por lo cual es fundamental conocer las consideraciones para abordar pacientes con dicha entidad patológica y brindar consulta oportuna a las madres afectadas. A continuación se presenta una revisión de la literatura acerca del Síndrome de Transfusión Feto Fetal enfocado hacia las características de presentación, reseñas epidemiológicas, criterios y métodos diagnósticos así como las alternativas terapéuticas desarrolladas para la disminución y manejo de las complicaciones. MÉD.UIS. 2016;29(3)61-71.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome is one of the most serious complications on multiple pregnancy which deserves a strict monitoring and appropriated treatment according to the characteristics of the pathology in each case presented. This pathology is presented as a condition in foetus from multiple monchorionic pregnancies which have identical genotypes, but they adopt discordant cardiovascular phenotypes as a consequence of the disorder in the discharge due to multiple placental anastomoses usually developed between the foetuses. Perinatology experts have approached this topic and they have postulated different diagnostic and therapeutic alternatives, so it is fundamental to know the considerations to aboard patients with the above mentioned clinical condition and provide a timely consultation to the affected mothers. Below, it is presented a revision on different literature about Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome focused on the characteristics of its presentation, epidemiological reviews, criteria and methods of diagnosis as well as the therapeutic alternatives developed for the management of its complications and a summary of progress regarding post intervention prospective studies which demonstrate progress in terms of survival and neurological involvement in the twin survivors.
