The publication presents the Russian Federation’s first clinical case of prenatal detection of concordant cardiac pathology: common truncus arteriosus in monochorionic diamniotic twin fetuses at 20–21 weeks’ gestation. Evaluation of ultrasound markers for syndrome pathology and a genetic study of placental tissue in this case could diagnose chromosome 22 deletion syndrome (22q11DS). The literature review gives prenatal echographic criteria for determining a high risk of 22q11DS in fetuses with congenital heart diseases that are characteristic of both singleton and multiple pregnancies and analyzes in detail all published cases of prenatal and postnatal detection of chromosome 22q11 deletion in monozygotic twins. It analyzes literature sources on cardiac pathology in 22q11DS: it investigates in detail the rate and pattern of cardiovascular anomalies, the features of the course of the postoperative period, and long-term outcomes in patients with 22q11DS.
Conclusion: The awareness of clinical specialists about the prenatal manifestations of chromosome 22q11 deletion and the use of the proposed diagnostic algorithm should ensure the earliest possible detection of this syndrome pathology in fetuses and comprehensive counseling to form a reproductive prognosis for a married couple.
