Does delayed interval delivery improve outcomes in a quintuplet pregnancy?
Does delayed interval delivery improve outcomes in a quintuplet pregnancy?
This case demonstrates the feasibility of delayed interval delivery in a quintuplet pregnancy, though overall fetal survival remained poor.
Supports feasibility of delayed interval delivery in quintuplets; leaves open survival benefit and requires prospective confirmation.
We present a case report of delayed delivery of a quintuplet pregnancy. The pregnancy resulted from intrauterine insemination following hormonal treatment. This case may represent the first report of quintuplets delivered using the technique of delayed interval delivery. Three separate spontaneous labours and one Caesarean section for two fetuses took place between the 24th and 32nd weeks of pregnancy. The delay between the first and the last delivery was 61 days. Only a boy, born fourth, survived.
