What it is: One twin receives too little blood through the shared blood vessels of their placenta, the other too much.
When it occurs: In 40 to 50 sets of twins in Minnesota each year, and in 10 to 15 percent of all identical-twin pregnancies.
The breakthrough: Abnormal blood vessels are cauterized, allowing the blood flow to even out.
