| Abstract | Chorioamniotic membrane separation (CMS) means that the close attachment of amniotic and chorionic membranes is disrupted, usually following the traumatic entry into the amniotic cavity including fetal therapy. We report a case of twin-twin transfusion syndrome receiving fetoscopic guide laser therapy at gestational age of 19 weeks with partial CMS detected at the fifth week (gestational age of 24 weeks) after surgery and resealed 1 week later. There was no more CMS noted till delivery at gestational age of 34 weeks 6 days. CMS after fetoscope surgery may reseal spontaneously. |
