A Sonographer’s Perspective: Quintero Staging System for Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome in Monochorionic Twins

, 2011
Sonography remains the cornerstone in the assessment of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome in monochorionic twin pregnancies. Twin-to-twin transfusion is a common complication in monochorionic pregnancies, resulting in high perinatal morbidity and ...

Characteristics and outcomes of monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies complicated by selective fetal growth restriction with intermittent absent end diastolic flow

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Monochorionic diamniotic twins with selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR) are categorized based on the umbilical artery (UA) end diastolic flow (EDF) of the growth‐restricted fetus. While persistent flow abnormalities are attributed to placental insufficiency, intermittent flow changes are often attributed to anastomoses.

Angioarchitecture of monochorionic placentas in relation to the twin-twin transfusion syndrome

, 1995
OBJECTIVE: Twin-twin:transfusion syndrome in the midtrimester is associated with a perinatal mortality rate exceeding 80%.: Although attributed to intertwin transfusion along Vascular anastomoses, these occur in all monochorial placentas, not just the 10%

Predictive value of maternal serum placental growth factor levels for discordant fetal growth in twins: a retrospective cohort study

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
Background Accurate prenatal recognition of discordant fetal growth in twins is critical for deciding suitable management strategies. We explored the predictive value of the level of maternal second-trimester placental growth factor (PLGF) as a novel ...

Antenatal management of twin anemia-polycythemia sequence

Medicine Science, 2018
Twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and recently discovered twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS) are well-known severe complications of monochorionic pregnancies which are associated with placental anastomoses.

Does Sex Discordance on Antenatal Ultrasound Always Predict Dichorionicity?

Maternal-Fetal Medicine, 2020
. Monochorionic dizygotic twin gestation is clinically very uncommon but poses significant antenatal and postnatal complications. Here we review the diagnosis, mechanism, perinatal management, and pregnant outcomes of monochroic dizygotic twin gestation.

Prospective evaluation of the Simple Fetal Medicine Foundation's first‐trimester prediction model for preeclampsia in twin pregnancies

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 9, Page 1707-1716, September 2026.
The Simple Fetal Medicine Foundation model effectively predicts preeclampsia (PE) in twin pregnancies at 11 +0–13 + 6 weeks using only maternal risk factors and mean arterial pressure. It achieves a high detection rate for early onset PE (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.911 for PE <30 weeks) and provides a simple, convenient ...

Induction of labor versus cesarean section after 36 + 0 weeks in twin pregnancy: A review of maternal and neonatal outcomes

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 9, Page 1742-1748, September 2026.
Women with a twin pregnancy who undergo induction of labor or elective cesarean section at term are comparable for blood loss but with higher admissions to the neonatal unit. Abstract Introduction Our aim was to assess maternal and perinatal morbidity associated with induction of labor (IOL) and elective cesarean section (ECS) in uncomplicated twin ...

Cerebral Oxygen Saturation During Less‐Invasive Surfactant Administration Using a High‐Pressure CPAP Respiratory Support Delivery Room Protocol—A Cohort Study

Acta Paediatrica, Volume 115, Issue 9, Page 1953-1958, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To describe changes in peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and regional cerebral oxygenation (rcSO2) during less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) in a high‐level continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) respiratory support delivery room protocol in very low birth weight infants (VLBW).

Monochorionic-diamniotic twin pregnancy complicated by twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence and retroplacental hematoma – a case report

, 2018
Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence is a rare and severe complication specific to monochorionic twin pregnancies, involving the presence of an acardiac twin and a structurally normal co-twin (pump twin). We report on the case of a33-year-old
