Twin-Twin Tranfusion Syndrome

Twin to twin transfusion syndrome is when identical twins who share a placenta get an unequal distribution of nutrients from it. Only one of the twins receives the blood and nutrients in abundance. This can result in heart failure. The ‘donor’ twin receives insufficient blood and nutrients which slows down their growth. Their bladder begins to disappear and their chances of survival diminish.
