Resumen

The twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a potentially lethal complication that can occur in monochorionic twin pregnancies due to an imbalance in placental blood flow. Diagnosis is based on amniotic fluid discordance and classified using the Quintero staging system. The primary treatment is fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP) of placental anastomoses. A successful case of FLP treatment in a monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy with TTTS during COVID-19 pandemic in Peru is presented.
