- Abstract: We present two cases of diamniotic, dichorionic twin pregnancies in which after the loss of the first foetus in the setting of clinical chorioamnionitis, both pregnancies were successfully managed by delayed-interval delivery. A fourstage protocol including aspects of management in this specific setting is proposed. We consider the importance of a selection process when managing conservatively, measures to promote latency and decisions regarding delivery of the foetuses. Whilst we report successful case studies of conservative management with delayed-interval delivery, we support a cautious approach and understand that in the setting of clinical chorioamnionitis of the remaining foetus, delivery is necessary.
