Delayed Interval Delivery of a Second Twin: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

[摘要] We report a case of diamniotic, dichorionic pregnancy that presented at 26 weeks with premature rupture of the first amniotic sac. Nine days later, premature labour and delivery of the first male twin took place, with death of the first twin. The second twin was left in utero. The management included combination of tocolytics, antibiotics and cervical cerclage. Caesarean section was performed 48 days later, at 34 weeks due to breech presentation and contractions. We delivered a live male infant with apgar scores 4/1 and 7/5 and 1680 gr weight. The infant was discharged home 29 days later.
