Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome presents in the mid-trimester with gross discordance in amniotic fluid volume, and complicates 10-15 per cent of monochorionic twins. Recent studies suggest a primary vascular basis in which a paucity of the bidirectional superficial anastomoses normally found in mo
Monochorionic monozygotic twins frequently suffer complications from the presence of vascular anastomoses in their monochorionic placentas. Also, sharing of perfusion zones may be unequal, leading to marked growth discordance. This paper analyzes four measures of perinatal outcome (gestational age
