Monochorionic diamniotic twins with centrally located and closely spaced umbilical cord insertions in the placenta

چکیده
When to deliver the monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins with specific cord patterns? Although there is no clear evidence supporting an earlier delivery (before 36 weeks of gestation) in MCDA twins, an earlier delivery might prevent intrauterine death or neuromorbidity in MCDA twins with specific cord patterns.

Antepartum Spontaneous Rupture of the Intertwin-dividing Membrane in Monochorionic Diamniotic Twins; Nearly

A 31-year-old nullipara visited our hospital at 28+3 weeks gestation. A monochorionic diamniotic twin gestation was diagnosed ultrasonographically by visualizing a thin intertwin-dividing membrane a...
