Cord entanglement in monoamniotic twins: 2D and 3D colour Doppler studies
1Geburtsmedizin, Charité Virchow-Klinikum, Berlin.
Abstract:
Cord entanglement affects the majority of monoamniotic (MA) twins, accounting for the high proportion of intrauterine deaths of MA twins, and it is often present from early gestation. 3D ultrasound can be used to acquire volume data comprising information on umbilical colour Doppler flow, providing a very graphic depiction of cord entanglement. We have used 2D, "conventional" and a novel 3D display of colour Doppler ultrasound showing cord entanglement.
