Abstract

We describe a case of diamniotic dichorionic pregnancy at 23 weeks and 6 days of gestation with threatened preterm labor with rupture of membrane of twin one. After 10 days we delivered the first twin. We decided to retain the other one to allow improvement in the outcome for the second twin. The patient was treated with tocolytics, antibiotics, cervical cerclage, steroid and continously monitored. After 58 daysthere was increasing uterine contractility and we delivered the second twin.
