Abstract:
Monochorionic pregnancies accounts for only 20% of twins but are responsible for most of their morbidity and mortality. There is no randomized study evaluating management of monochorionic pregnancies. Based on expert opinion, it is recommended that monochorionic pregnancies should be followed-up by practionners working with specialized centers with expertise in monochorionic pregnancies. Optimal follow-up should include a bi-monthly ultrasound evaluation.
