Concordance hypoplastic left heart syndrome in dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy: A rare case report

Abstract

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital birth defect, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a relatively common form of CHD, with an estimated incidence of 0.1–0.25 per 1,000 live births. However, twin pregnancies in which both fetuses are affected by HLHS are very rare. Herein, we present the first reported case of dichorionic dizygotic twins concordant for this condition.
