Successful delayed-interval delivery in monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy: A case report

We describe a case of a successful delayed-interval delivery of monochorionic diamniotic twins following prelabour rupture of membranes at 20 weeks of gestation. The first twin was previable, delivered at 23 weeks and 2 days of gestation, but the second twin was delivered at 24 weeks and 1 day of gestation and survived.Practitioners could consider delayed-interval delivery in monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy in a closely monitored environment if the first twin is born peri-viable, to obtain an improved outcome for the remaining fetus.
