Discordant omphalocele-exstrophy-imperforate anus-spinal defects (OEIS) complex and cardiac malformations in monochorionic twins.
The omphalocele-exstrophy-imperforate anus-spinal defects (OEIS) complex was first described by Carey et al. in 1978. It constitutes a specific combination of malformations. There are very few case reports of discordant OEIS in monozygotic twins and very few reports of OEIS in association with both hypoplastic left heart and ventricular septal defect. Our case represents the fifth reported case of cardiac malformations in a fetus with OEIS complex.
