Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome typically develops between weeks 16 and 26 of a woman’s pregnancy. But an ultrasound as early as 10 to 14 weeks can put doctors on alert that there is a twin gestation, and if they are sharing a placenta. TTTS is diagnosed by measuring levels of amniotic fluid.
Can TTTS stay at Stage 1?
The overall survival was 79%, 77%, 68%, and 84% in stage 1 TTTS managed expectantly, by amnioreduction, laser surgery if there is progression, and laser as first-line treatment, respectively. The optimal initial management of stage 1 TTTS remains in equipoise.
When is TTTS most common?
Chronic TTTS appears in early pregnancy (12-26 weeks gestation). Because delivery cannot be expedited at this early stage of gestation, and the babies are going to be exposed to the placental abnormality for longer, most of these babies will not survive without intervention and treatment.
