Selective fetocide reverses preeclampsia in discordant twins

Article Abstract:

Three patients with second trimester preeclampsia linked to a lethal condition in one twin were treated with selective fetocide in an effort to reverse preeclampsia. The results indicate that preeclampsia resolved in all three patients allowed continuation of the pregnancy for an additional 9 to 23 weeks before delivery of the remaining fetus.
