“…To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first twin study to evaluate the effect of genetics on the development of LUTO phenotypes. In total, we identified 22 twin pairs suitable for analysis from the literature . In addition, we identified another 3 so far unpublished PUV twin pairs from our in‐house databases (University of Bonn, Essen and Wrocław).…”

“…A vesicoamniotic shunt might be a choice of treatment in diamniotic pregnancy discordant for lower urinary tract obstruction. Unfortunately, opinions differ about the therapeutic value of shunting in twin pregnancy and it should be discussed with parents [23]. There is also controversy about whether selective feticide is an option in dichorionic pregnancy discordant for PS.…”

Discordance for Potter’s Syndrome in a Dichorionic Diamniotic Twin Pregnancy—An Unusual Case Report

Introduction: Potter's syndrome, also known as Potter's sequence, is an uncommon and fatal disorder. Potter's sequence in a multiple pregnancy is uncommon, and its frequency remains unknown. Worldwide in a diamniotic twin pregnancy, there are only a few cases described. Case report: We present an unusual case discordance for Potter's syndrome in a dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy. Twin A had the typical physical and histological Potter's findings. Twin B had normal respiratory function and normal physical examination findings. There are many controversies about this condition in diamniotic twin pregnancy. One case report concluded that that the presence of a normal co-twin in diamniotic pregnancy prevented the cutaneous features seen in Potter's syndrome and ameliorated the pulmonary complications, whereas two other case studies reported that the affected twin had extrarenal features typical of the syndrome. Conclusion: We performed an autopsy and calculated lung weight/body weight ratio to diagnose pulmonary hypoplasia. Histopathologic examination of lungs and kidneys was performed. We concluded that the appearance of extrarenal features in the affected twin depends on the amniocity.
