Selective fetocide reversed mirror syndrome in a dichorionic triplet pregnancy with severe twin-twin transfusion syndrome: a case report.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:We evaluated the hypothesis that in fetuses with congenital heart disease (CHD) there is a correlation between the expected pattern of in utero brain blood supply and the severity of neurodevelopmental impairment. METHODS:A total of 58 fetuses with CHD and 58 controls underwent a Doppler ultrasound and feta...
