title: Clinical pathology conference: acute twin-to-twin in utero transfusion.
abstract: This clinical pathology conference discusses a case of monochoriontic twins with chronic twin-to-twin transfusion based on unequal venous return and a large arterial communication. Polyhydramnios resulted in preterm labor, fetal distress, and a reversed acute twin-to-twin transfusion through the arterial shunt.
