Multiple Gestation Ch 14 2009-2010 Academic Year MSIII Ob/Gyn Clerkship Self-Directed Study 2009-2010 USUHS MSIII Ob/Gyn Clerkship Self Directed Studies Case Study A 41 year old Lt. Colonel, G1, presents to the OB clinic for her initial OB visit. She is very happy to have undergone IVF treatment with the military and was told by her reproductive doctor that she had twins. 2009-2010 USUHS MSIII Ob/Gyn Clerkship Self Directed Studies Questions to Consider • 1. What are the patient’s risk factors for twins? – IVF (Ovarian stimulation, multiple embryo transfer) – Age (>35 yo with double risk of a 25 yo) • 2. Are assisted reproductive techniques associated with twinning? – YES!!!!!!! 2009-2010 USUHS MSIII Ob/Gyn Clerkship Self Directed Studies APGO Educational Topic 20 • A. Discuss the etiology of monozygotic, dizygotic, and multizygotic gestation. • B. Describe the altered physiologic state with multifetal gestation. • C. Describe the potential complications associated with multifetal gestation. 2009-2010 USUHS MSIII Ob/Gyn Clerkship Self Directed Studies Etiology of Twinning • Monozygotic Twinning: splitting of 1 embryo • Dizygotic Twinning: fertilization of 2 eggs in a single menstrual cycle. • Multizygotic: fertilization of more than 2 eggs 2009-2010 USUHS MSIII Ob/Gyn Clerkship Self Directed Studies Timing of Monozygotic Twinning Time of Cleavage Membranes 0-72 hours 4-8 days 9-12 days Diamniotic Dichorionic Diamniotic Monochorionic Monoamniotic Monochorionic Adapted from Essentials of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 4th ed; Hacker et al, page 183. 2009-2010 USUHS MSIII Ob/Gyn Clerkship Self Directed Studies Figure 14-1 Diagrammatic representation of the major types of twin placentas found with monozygotic twins.

USUHS MSIII Ob/Gyn Clerkship Self Directed Studies Other Tidbits of Info • Twins = 1% of all births in USA • Dizygotic twinning is dependant on FMHx, ethnicity ( Nigeria), and maternal age (with age >35 yo is 2x’s that of 25 yo) while monozygotic twinning rates is constant. • ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) increases multifetal gestation. – Clomid = 6-8% incidence of multiples – Gonadotropins = 20-30% incidence of multiples 2009-2010 USUHS MSIII Ob/Gyn Clerkship Self Directed Studies
