RESUMEN

Introducción:

la secuencia de perfusión arterial reversa (secuencia TRAP) o transfusión feto-fetal; se encuentra entre las numerosas peculiaridades de la gestación monocoriónica (univitelina) gemelar. En ella, el gemelo afectado es perfundido de forma reversa mediante anastomosis arterio-arterial y veno-venosa por el otro gemelo; resultando un feto acardio y otro normal, con consecuencias hemodinámicas en este último, debidas a la misma.

Objetivo:

caso de embarazo gemelar monocigótico con feto acardio-acéfalo diagnosticado por ultrasonido preparto; dada su baja frecuencia. Presentación del caso gestante de 17 años de edad, primigrávida, con embarazo gemelar de 36.3 semanas, diagnosticado por Ultrasonido (US); con 4 controles prenatales. La misma consultó en trabajo de parto. Se le realizó un US evolutivo que encontró un feto vivo, en presentación cefálica, acompañado de una masa amorfa, que se concluyó como feto malformado en un embarazo gemelar. Se remitió la gestante al Hospital Nacional Regional de Escuintla (HNRE); donde se le practicó una cesárea; se obtuvo un recién nacido femenino de 2.37 kilogramos y una masa deforme (feto malformado). La placenta resultó ser monocoriónica, univitelina, con perfusión sanguínea feto-fetal (de normal a malformado); lo cual permitió la supervivencia del feto amorfo hasta entonces, seguido de muerte fetal intraparto. El gemelo malformado se envió al servicio de anatomía patológica para su estudio; cuyos resultados se presentan en este trabajo. Se revisa la bibliografía hasta el 2013.

Conclusiones:

el feto acardio-acéfalo por transfusión feto-fetal inversa es poco frecuente en nuestro país, debido al temprano y avanzado control prenatal. El diagnóstico prenatal temprano es un método valioso para evitar el desenlace fatal e incremento de la mortalidad infantil(AU)
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

among several peculiarities of gestation twins (univiteline) monochorionic is sequence of Twin Reverse Arterial Perfusion (TRAP sequence) or fetus-fetal transfusion. TRAP is a serious complication whereby the affected twin is been perfused in a reverse manner through arterio-arterial and veno-venous anastomoses by another twin; resulting in an abnormal acardiac foetus and other normal, but with hemodynamic consequences in the latter, due to this complication.

Objective:

illustrate a twin pregnancy with an acardius acephalus (parasite) twin diagnosis by antenatal, ante partum ultrasound; since it is seldom reported in our environment. Case Presentation the results of a 17-year-old primigravida pregnant woman's with a twin pregnancy of 36.3 weeks, diagnosed by Ultra sound (US) are presented in this article. Four previous ante-natal checks up were retrieved before she went into labour. An evaluative US was carried out; showing a live foetus in a cephalic presentation, accompanied by an amorphous mass that was concluded as a malformed foetus in a twin pregnancy. The patient was referred to the National Regional Escuintla Hospital (NREH). A caesarean section was performed. A female newborn of 2.37 kg weight and an amorphous mass - corresponding to a malformed foetus- were found. A uni-chorionic, uni-amniotic placenta was found, as well as a foetus-foetal blood perfusion (from normal to malformed) that kept "alive" the malformed foetus until the delivery. Intra partum foetal death of the second (amorphous) foetus was noticed. The body was sent to the department of pathology for post-mortem study service. The findings of the post-mortem are presented in this report.

Conclusions:

acardiocephalus twin pregnancy by reverse foetus-fetal transfusion is quite uncommon in our country, due to early and advanced antenatal control and diagnosis. Early detection of such cases provides a good tool to avoid intra partum and postpartum neonatal deaths, thus,.. (AU)
