Abstract
Monoamniotic twins comprise a rare subset of twins at risk of unique and serious complications. In addition to the risks faced by all twins (premature birth, growth restriction), all monochorionic twins (twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome), and all monozygotic twins (congenital anomalies), monoamniotic twins face the unique risk of cord entanglement, in addition to a markedly increased risk of congenital anomalies. Early diagnosis, screening for fetal anomalies and surveillance for twin-twin transfusion syndrome are critical. After fetal viability, frequent fetal monitoring reduces the risk of intrauterine fetal demise.
期刊介绍：
Each issue of Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology is a complete symposium on one or two timely topics of interest in obstetrics and gynecology. For each quarterly issue, two prominent guest editors solicit contributions on key clinical topics of interest to practicing physicians. Procedures, current clinical problems, medical and surgical treatments, and effective diagnostic aids are all carefully reviewed in original articles. The result is an instructive resource that dispenses trustworthy clinical guidance that enhances your understanding of key areas of your practice.
