Abstract
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.
