Case report of myometrial window following fetoscopic treatment of twin-twin transfusion syndrome: indications of underlying collagen vascular disease?

Clin Case Rep. 2017 May 9;5(6):975-979. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.885. eCollection 2017 Jun.

Abstract

Intraperitoneal amniotic fluid leak is a known complication of fetoscopic procedures that usually resolves spontaneously with expectant management. Intraperitoneal amniotic fluid leak may persist after fetoscopic procedures due to a myometrial window as well as to persistent chorioamniotic membrane disruption, which may be amenable to surgical repair.

Keywords: Amniotic fluid leak; case report; complications; fetoscopy; intraperitoneal; myometrial defect; twin‐twin transfusion syndrome.
