Question
Answer
Fertilization of 2 ova by 2 different fathers with only a short time between   Superfecundation  
🗑
Ovulation occurs when pregnancy already exists. One month difference in gestational age   Superfetation  
🗑
What are 2 types of twins?   Monozygotic and Dizygotic  
🗑
Maternal, occurs from fertilization of one egg. The egg divides into 2 zygotes after fertilization   Monozygotic  
🗑
What is the Monozygotic incidence around the world?   3.5 per 1,000 pregnancies  
🗑
Fraternal, two ovum are released at ovulation. Each are fertilized and are different individuals with same parents   Dizgotic  
🗑
What is the Dizgotic incidence in different parts of the world?   Nigeria 1 in 20-25 US 1 in 100 Japan 1 in 150  
🗑
What is amniocity?   Number of amniotic sacs  
🗑
What is Chorionicity?   Number of placentas  
🗑
Are always diamniotic and dizygotic   Dizygotic twins  
🗑
May be either diamniotic or monoamniotic and dichorionic or monochorionic, depending on the time of cleavage   Monozygotic twins  
🗑
Means two placentas/sacs   Di/amnicotic or chorionic  
🗑
Means one   Mono  
🗑
Timing of events for trophoblast   Differentiate at 4 to 6 days post-fertilization  
🗑
Timing of events for amnion   Differentiates at approx 8 days post-fertilization  
🗑
If the zygote divides before 4-6 day it will be   dichorionic and diamniotic this account for 1/3 of all monozygotic twins  
🗑
If the zygote divides between 6-8 days it is   monochorionic and diamniotic this accounts for 2/3rd of all monozygotic  
🗑
If the zygote divides after the 8th day it is   monoamniotic and monochorionic and accounts for less than 1% of monozygotic twins  
🗑
If the zygote divides after day 13 you will have   Siamese twins  
🗑
Conjoined twins accounts for about   1 in 70,000 delivers in the US  
🗑
Siamese twins may have more than a   3 vessel cord  
🗑
Name four classifications of conjoined twins   Thoracopagus Craniopagus (cephalic) Pygopagus (posterior) Ischiopagus (caudal)  
🗑
Will have one placenta or two placentas? one sac or two depending on the time of cleavage   Monozygotic  
🗑
TROPHOBLAST CELLS IMMATURE, DIFFERENTIATES AT 4-6 DAYS POST FERT, THEY KNOW WHAT THEY WILL BECOME   PLACENTA  
🗑
On day 8th these cell know what they will become   Amnion (sac) cells  
🗑
It's important to note the number of   placentas and amniotic sacs  
🗑
two placentas may be laying close together so look at the   location and gender of each twin  
🗑
Record what two things for each twin   Growth and measurements  
🗑
With one amnotic sac, the umbilical cord may get   twisted, rate of death is 50-70%  
🗑
Pathology, a twin pregnancy is considered a   High risk  
🗑
Rare, occurs in monozygotic twins, they share a placenta wit each having their own umbilical cord. There is an arterio-venous shunt With in placenta. Arterial blood of one twin (the donor) is pumped into the venous blood of the other twin   Twin to twin transfusion syndrome  
🗑
Twin to twin transfusion syndrome risk factors   Donor may become hydropic/anemic and grwoth retarded. Receipent may be normal orhydropic. Affects growth of both. Hydramnios in receipents sac. Donor may have 2 vessel cord and may be 20% difference in weight  
🗑
What is the Stuck-Twin syndrome   1. One twin is in a severly oligohydramniotic sac 2. One twin is in a polyhydramniotic sac  
🗑
Stuck-Twin syndrome is manages by   serial amniocentesis and possible complications in survivors from sac  
🗑
Selective Reduction of fetuses in Mult gestations is done in the   1st trimester, sac injected with potassium chloride to cause death  
🗑
What is the selection process to reduce number of fetuses   Anomalous fetus/small GS/monochorionic twins Both/Most accessible sac: high and anterior in the fubdus/ Do NOT select a predenting embryo/reduce # to twins  
🗑
Joined at the chest, most common   Thoracopagus  
🗑
Joined at the head   Craniopagus  
🗑
Joined posteriorly at the back   Pygopagus  
🗑
Joined at the caudal of their bodies   Ischiopagus  
🗑
One twin does not have a heart, blood from donor pumps blood into the body of the   Acardiac Monster  
🗑
Acardiac Monster can cause   CHF i donor twin  
🗑
