title: [Problems posed by the delivery of twin pregnancies].
abstract: The authors present a retrospective study of 249 deliveries of twin pregnancies collected between 1987 and 1990. The incidence of twin pregnancies is 1.6%. Delivery is premature in 28.1% of cases and that of low birth weight is 51.7%. In 13.2% of cases, delivery was Cesarean and the Apgar score was significantly higher for the first twin than for second. Perinatal mortality was 7.2 percent. The authors compare these findings with those reported elsewhere in the literature.
