“…La efusión plural y la ascitis se observó anecoica, con pulmones pequeños. Así mismo, se ha reportado hipoplasia pulmonar por compresión en hidrotórax fetal (Heng et al, 2011). En el presente caso, el diámetro de la cabeza (68.1 mm) y abdomen (92.1 mm) imposibilitaba el paso del feto con anasarca a nivel del canal pélvico.…”

Se describe el caso clínico de una perra mestiza de 1 año, con parto distócico de 12 horas que presentaba un feto en posición podal en el canal pélvico. Al estudio ecográfico se evidenciaron dos fetos vivos aparentemente normales y dos con severa anasarca, efusión pleural y ascitis, uno de los cuales había provocado la distocia. La perra fue sometida a una cesárea. Los hallazgos ecográficos fueron confirmados por la necropsia de los fetos con hidropesía. Dos de los fetos presentaban, además, palatosquisis.

“…Normal foetal development can be assessed by observing the chronologic relationship between organ development and gestation, which is also useful for determining the date of delivery [10][11][12][13][14][15][16], and embryonic/foetal disorders can be predicted by observing a delay in the time of development of the organs or alterations in their appearance, or by finding a slow rate of foetal growth [17][18][19]. Single reports of foetal abnormalities diagnosed early using ultrasound have been reported, both in canine and feline species, including monochorionic twins [20,21], hydrops fetalis [22][23][24][25][26][27][28], hydrocephalus [29,30], clefts [31], and kidney defects [32].…”

Prenatal diagnosis comprises a set of investigations, both instrumental and laboratory-based, which aim to monitor the health of the foetus during pregnancy, from the early stages of embryonic development to the moments preceding delivery. A growing interest is emerging for the preterm ultrasound morphological screening of embryos and foetuses, aimed at assessing the integrity and viability of the conceptus, as well as the early diagnosis of anomalies which can cause complications. This study is a retrospective study of the ultrasonographic findings of twins in the authors’ clinical activity from 2016 to 2022. Only seven cases of monochorionic twins were recorded, out of the whole number of evaluations performed on 3120 foetuses, with a prevalence of 0.6% and 0.2% in feline and canine foetuses. All the twins had their own amniotic sac and umbilical cord but presented a single placenta and a single allantoic sac. Unfortunately, the three feline cases were not more recognizable at term. In the four canine cases, three were of opposite sex and then necessarily dizygotic. Twins may have an impact on the success of a pregnancy due to the risk of dystocia, as observed in some of the reported cases. Prenatal ultrasound allows early recognition of twins in dogs and cats.
