Prolonged delivery-abortion interval in twin and triplet pregnancies. A report of two cases.
Two cases occurred of a delayed interval between the second-trimester delivery and abortion of a nonviable fetus from a multifetal gestation with a surviving fetus or fetuses. In twin pregnancy, there was a 23-day interval between the delivery of twin A (at 21 weeks) and of twin B (at 24 weeks). In a clomiphene-induced triplet pregnancy there was a 74-day interval between the spontaneous abortion of triplet A at 17 weeks and of triplets B and C at 27 weeks. This is the second reported case of two surviving infants after a delayed abortion-delivery interval in a triplet pregnancy in a single uterus.
