ABSTRACT
Pseudoamniotic band syndrome is a rare iatrogenic complication of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome treated with foetoscopic procedures. We report a severe pseudoamniotic band syndrome in the recipient monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome following a selective foeticide procedure. A male newborn with a severe circumferential amniotic band in the left leg was treated by single-stage excision of the ring and arterio-venous decompression. No complications were encountered. A microsurgical approach to improve the circulation together with ring excision may be useful in some cases.
