Abstract

Background. Mirror syndrome is a rare complication with an adverse pregnancy outcome to both the mother and the fetus. The authors give the data available in the literature and their own clinical cases that demonstrate diagnostic methods, management tactics, and a pregnancy outcome in mirror syndrome resulting from fetofetal transfusion syndrome (FFTS). Case report. Two clinical cases of mirror syndrome in multiple pregnancy complicated by FFTS are analyzed. Conclusion. In FFTS, there is a risk for mirror syndrome that is accompanied by a high rate of maternal and perinatal complications. The timely treatment of FFTS or termination of pregnancy after failure of treatment can prevent severe obstetric complications.
