Delayed interval delivery in a quintuplet pregnancy

Abstract

We present a case report of delayed delivery of a quintuplet pregnancy. The pregnancy resulted from intrauterine insemination following hormonal treatment. This case may represent the first report of quintuplets delivered using the technique of delayed interval delivery. Three separate spontaneous labours and one Caesarean section for two fetuses took place between the 24th and 32nd weeks of pregnancy. The delay between the first and the last delivery was 61 days. Only a boy, born fourth, survived.
