Ultrasound surveillance in twin pregnancy: An update for practitioners.

R Townsend1, A Khalil1.   

Abstract

Ultrasound has revolutionised the management of multiple pregnancies and their complications. Increasing frequency of twin pregnancies mandates familiarity of all clinicians with the relevant pathologies and evidence-based surveillance and management protocols for their care. In this review, we summarise the latest evidence relating to ultrasound surveillance of twin pregnancies including first trimester assessment and screening, growth surveillance and the detection and management of the complications of monochorionic pregnancies including twin-to-twin-transfusion syndrome, selective fetal growth restriction, twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence and conjoined twinning.
