Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome is a specific disease unique to multiple pregnancies in which two or more foetuses share the same placenta. In this condition, the problem derives from an abnormally unbalanced flow of fluids between the foetuses. While one of the foetuses receives less blood and subsequently grows and urinates less, the other foetus receives more blood, urinates more and is usually bigger. The problem can be resolved with minimally invasive surgery that separates the foetuses into two individual placentae. The syndrome usually appears between weeks 16 and 25 of pregnancy.
