What's already known about this topic? Fetal anemia can develop in 2–13% of pregnancies following laser photocoagulation for twin‐twin transfusion syndrome. In such cases, twin anemia‐polycythemia sequence is the most common diagnosis that might mandate further interventions.What does this study add? We describe a case of placental hematoma following selective laser photocoagulation for twin‐twin transfusion syndrome associated with post‐therapy de novo donor twin anemia.
