“…This was a case of mirror syndrome in severe TTTS that was manifest after fetoscopic laser photocoagulation. To date, 21 cases of mirror syndrome have been reported [2][3][4][5][6][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] . We presented the fi rst case of mirror syndrome associated with severe TTTS.…”

Mirror syndrome is a preeclampsia-like disease first described in a case of severe hydrops fetalis caused by rhesus isoimmunization, later reported in some cases of nonimmunological fetal hydrops. Twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a severe complication associated with monochorionic pregnancies, in particular, severe TTTS with one hydropic fetus leading to a poor prognosis. We report here a case of mirror syndrome that occurred after selective fetoscopic laser photocoagulation in severe TTTS at 24 weeks’ gestation.

“…The syndrome has been reported to be associated with Rh isoimmunization [2] , nonimmune hydrops [3] , placental chorioangioma [4] , and various fetal anomalies [5,6] . Twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a serious complication occurring in a monochorionic twin pregnancy that develops fetal hydrops.…”

“…Ballantyne's syndrome was initially reported in cases of rhesus isoimmunization [2][3][4][5][6][7]. However, it has since been described as well in other pregnancy complications associated with fetal hydrops including: cytomegalovirus [8] and parvovirus B19 [9] infections, Ebstein's anomaly [10], aneurysm of the vein of Galen [11], fetal supraventricular tachycardia [12], and placental chorioangioma [13].…”

“…However, hypertension and proteinuria consistent with the clinical diagnosis of preeclampsia is present in about half of the cases of mirror syndrome [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Recently, the soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (sVEGFR-1), an antiangiogenic factor, has been associated with the pathogenesis of preeclampsia [17][18][19].…”

Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformations are rarely seen intracranial malformations. They represent less than 1% of the cerebral arteriovenous malformations. Prenatal diagnosis of an arteriovenous fistula malformation may be achieved by real-time and Doppler sonography with color flow imaging, by identifying dilated veins and arteriovenous shunts with turbulent flow. In addition, an elevated cardiac output may be observed and correlated with the magnitude of the cerebral arteriovenous shunt. The high incidence of cardiomegaly in neonates with arteriovenous malformations also suggests that high-output cardiac failure is already present in a significant number of cases during the 3rd trimester, and, therefore, treatment in utero may need to be considered to improve the hemodynamic status. In our case, all the above cardiovascular features were present during prenatal ultrasonography. The information on outcome compiled from the literature suggests that when an arteriovenous malformation is large enough to be detected prenatally, as in our case, it is likely to lead to cardiac failure either during the antenatal period or soon after birth. In this paper, we present the management of a case of 3rd-trimester diagnosis of a vein of Galen aneurysm associated with cardiac decompensation.
