Description
Bedrana Muracevic-Begovic, Amra Mujkanovic-Dzino, and Jasmin Hodzic report a twin pregnancy case involving Down syndrome in one twin in a 2025 case report. When one twin carries a severe anomaly, ending that twin's life can protect the mother and the healthy twin. Law and access, though, vary sharply by country.
The thirty-eight-year-old mother conceived twins by IVF, each in its own sac. Screening flagged high risk in the second twin, and fluid testing confirmed trisomy 21, while the first twin was normal. Since the procedure is not legal in Bosnia and Herzegovina, she was referred to a center in Serbia. After ethics approval, the affected twin was treated late in pregnancy, and delivery days later gave one healthy baby. Follow-up at one month was normal.
