Abstract
A monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancy occurs in 1 of 250 pregnancies and accounts for 20% of twin pregnancies and 70% of total monozygotic twins. It is responsible for a significant proportion of perinatal morbidity and mortality in twins. The main feature of MC twins is the presence of placental anastomoses which can lead to complications like Twin–Twin Transfusion Syndrome, Twin Anemia-Polycythemia Sequence, Acute Feto-Fetal Transfusion, Twin Anemia-Polycythemia Sequence, Selective Intrauterine Growth Retardation. The complexity and the uncountable number of combined complications that MC twin pregnancies can present may often blur clinical decisions. Adequate follow-up and management of MC twins can be accomplished by means of an integrated knowledge of the pathology and timely intervention.
