Der interessante Fall
Twin Anemia-Polycythemia Sequence (TAPS) bei dichorialer Geminigravidität

Fallbericht
Eine 32-jährige III. Gravida/ II. Para, Z. n. 2× Spontanpartus 2020 und 2022, stellte sich in 26 + 3 SSW in unserer Pränataldiagnostik vor mit extern vorbeschriebener dichorial-diamnioter Geminigravidität mit neu aufgetretener Wachstumsdiskrepanz sowie Verdacht auf Kardiomegalie des führenden Fetus. Auch retrospektiv konnte die Dichorionizität anhand der externen Ultraschallbilder durch das zum Zeitpunkt des Ersttrimesterscreenings klar ersichtliche Lambda-Zeichen bestätigt werden.
