Preterm premature rupture of membrane and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome before 20 weeks: a favourable outcome.

We describe a monochorionic twin gestation with a severe twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome associated with a preterm premature rupture of membranes at 20 weeks of gestation in the polyhydramniotic sac. The pregnancy was managed expectantly and outcome was favourable for the 2 neonates. We discuss how these two severe pathologies seem to counteract each other by compensations of their symptoms.

Congenital laryngeal cyst: benefits of prenatal diagnosis and multidisciplinary perinatal management.

Congenital laryngeal cysts are rare and can cause upper airway obstruction if they are misdiagnosed. We describe a case of large vallecular cyst diagnosed at 33 weeks of gestation. The purpose of an early diagnosis is to establish a careful perinatal management. If the airway is compromised, a multidisciplinary medical team is necessary to perform emergency immediate tracheostomy. Elective delivery should be always carried out in a tertiary referral center.
