Outcomes and risk of complications for patients undergoing dilation and evacuation for intrauterine fetal demise

(2023)

Dilation and evacuation (D&E) is safer and more effective than labor induction for uterine evacuation of patients withsecond-trimester intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD). Patients with IUFD are at higher risk of complications, including hemorrhage and disseminated intravascularcoagulation (DIC), compared to patients undergoing D&E for other indications.

We aimed to describe outcomes, rates of complications, and associated risk factors for patients undergoing D&E for IUFD at our institution.

Placental mass in association with neonatal mosaic trisomy 21: genetic makeup consistent with acardiac amorphous twin

(2023)

Placental teratomas thought to arisefrom germ cells migrating into extraplacental membranes. Historically, placental teratomas were differentiated from acardiac amorphoustwins by presence of multiple tissuetypes, but lack of axial organization andumbilical cord. New evidence - previously documented placental teratomas may insteadrepresent acardiac amorphous twin given similar pattern of short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphic loci between placental masses (thought to be teratoma) and adjacent normalplacental tissue.
