Prenatal diagnosis for multiple pregnancies is complex due to increased risks of abnormalities. This review covers screening and diagnostic methods for twins and higher-order multiples.

Area of Science:

  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Reproductive Genetics
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • Multiple gestation incidence has risen due to fertility treatments and delayed childbearing.
  • Offspring from multiple pregnancies face higher risks of chromosomal and structural abnormalities.
  • Prenatal diagnosis in multiple gestations presents unique challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the specific concerns in prenatal diagnosis for multiple pregnancies.
  • To explore current prenatal screening and diagnostic methods for these patients.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on prenatal diagnosis in multiple gestations.
  • Discussion of screening test limitations.
  • Exploration of invasive diagnostic procedures and management of discordant results.
