Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome is a serious condition that can occur in identical twin pregnancies where both babies share a placenta. It happens when abnormal blood vessel connections in the placenta cause unequal blood flow between the twins. One baby may receive too much blood, while the other gets too little, leading to growth and heart-related complications.
TTTS usually develops during pregnancy and requires close monitoring through regular ultrasounds. Early diagnosis and timely treatment, including specialized fetal procedures in some cases, can improve outcomes and reduce risks for both babies and the mother.
