  • Title: Discordant fetal platelet counts in a twin gestation complicated by idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
    Author: Moise KJ, Cotton DB.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 1987 May; 156(5):1141-2. PubMed ID: 3578426.
    Abstract:
    The twin gestation in a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura presents a unique problem if vaginal delivery is being considered. Scalp platelet sampling to exclude fetal thrombocytopenia only allows assessment of the presenting fetus. A case is described in which cordocentesis revealed discordant platelet counts in dizygotic twin fetuses.
