We report a case where discordant amniotic band syndrome was diagnosed in a monochorionic twin pregnancy in the early second trimester of pregnancy. Pregnancy was also complicated by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. Therapeutic options were limited because of the severity of the amniotic strings and the twin transfusion syndrome. We offered selective feticide by bipolar coagulation of the umbilical cord of the affected fetus. This was performed successfully and also converted the transfusion syndrome, leading to the term birth of a healthy baby, with an 'aplasia cutis'-like skin lesion on the skull. The differential diagnostic and therapeutic steps in this complex case are discussed, as well as the possible relationship between the skin lesion and the fetoscopic intervention.

Abstract Background Amniotic band syndrome is a rare phenomenon, but it can result in serious complications. We report herein our experience of amniotic band syndrome in a monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy where rupture of the dividing membrane occurred early in the second trimester. Case Presentation A 29-year-old nulliparous woman was referred to us for management of her monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy at 10 weeks of gestation. When we were unable to identify a dividing membrane at 15 weeks of gestation using two-dimensional ultrasonography, we used three-dimensional ultrasonography to confirm its absence. Both modalities showed that the left arm of baby B was swollen and attached to a membranous structure originating from the placenta at 18 weeks of gestation. Tangled umbilical cords were noted on magnetic resonance imaging at 18 weeks of gestation. Emergency cesarean delivery was performed at 30 weeks of gestation because of the nonreassuring fetal status of baby A. The left arm of baby B had a constrictive ring with a skin defect. Both neonates had an uncomplicated postnatal course and were discharged around 2 months after delivery. Conclusions Attention should be paid to the potential for amniotic band syndrome if rupture of the dividing membrane between twins is noted during early gestation.
