Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).
Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). A rare condition that occurs only in identical twins share a placenta. Abnormal blood vessel connections form in the placenta and allow blood to flow unevenly between the babies & the blood supply of one twin moves to the other the shared placenta. The twin that loses the blood is called the donor twin. The twin that receives the blood is called the recipient twin. Both infants may have problems depending on how much blood is passed from one to the other. The donor twin may have too little blood, and the other may have too much blood. Most of the time- ■The donor twin is smaller than the other twin at birth. The infant often has anemia, is dehydrated, and looks pale. ■The recipient twin is born larger, with redness too the skin, too much blood, and higher blood pressure. The twin that gets too much blood may develop cardiac failure because of the high blood volume. The infant may also need medicine to strengthen heart function. ☆TTTS is a disease of the placenta, not the babies themselves, and affects each twin differently.
