摘要

We present two case reports of twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence- a rare type of twin-twin transfusion syndrome wherein there is abnormal development of one fetus which derives its blood supply from the normal fetus. It is present in cases of monochorionic twin pregnancies and is also known as chorangiopagusparasiticus. Prompt diagnosis and intervention are needed to prevent the death of the normal twin. We discuss the importance of diagnosing this entity.
