Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) if left untreated before 24-weeks gestation period or around 6 months of pregnancy, 80 percent to 90 percent of cases, there will be loss of one or both twins.

If one of the twins should die, the blood vessel connections in the placenta can place the surviving twin at risk for long-term brain damage in as many as one-third of cases. In general, more advanced stages of TTTS have a worse prognosis than the earlier stages. When severe TTTS occurs at a very early gestational age (prior to sixteen weeks or the fourth month of pregnancy), the option of termination of the pregnancy can be considered due to the grim prognosis.
