Abstract

Deferred delivery or asynchronous delivery is rare in multiple pregnancies. When the
birth of the first twin occurs before 20-26 weeks, deferred delivery of the second twin
is a therapeutic option that allows increasing the gestational age to achieve viability,
pulmonary maturity and survival. A clinical case of deferred delivery of the second
twin is presented, in which the first delivery was at 24+1/7 weeks and the second at
34+2/7, prolonging the pregnancy by 73 days and resulting in a preterm newborn of
2,150 g.
