Dichorionic Triamniotic Triplet Pregnancy Complicated by Acardius Acormus

This report describes an acardiac fetus of the acormus phenotype in a triplet pregnancy. The diagnosis was confirmed at 15 weeks. In the absence of signs of heart failure in the co-fetus the pregnancy was managed conservatively. The pregnancy was complicated by preterm labour and the fetuses were de...

description This report describes an acardiac fetus of the acormus phenotype in a triplet pregnancy. The diagnosis was confirmed at 15 weeks. In the absence of signs of heart failure in the co-fetus the pregnancy was managed conservatively. The pregnancy was complicated by preterm labour and the fetuses were delivered at 26+5 weeks. The prenatal diagnosis of the acormus phenotype with a well-developed cephalic pole is extremely rare and has never been described antenatally in a higher order multiple pregnancy. We suggest that this rare acardiac fetus phenotype may have a different pathophysiology than those of other phenotypes. The report also summarizes the perinatal outcomes of triplet pregnancies complicated by an acardiac fetus, where the median gestational age at delivery is 26–27 weeks, and discusses the possible therapeutic interventions.
