Abstract

Twin pregnancies account for 3% of all pregnancies and they are burdened by higher morbidity and mortality compared to singletons. The role of ultrasound in the screening, diagnosis and management of possible complications of twin pregnancies has been widely investigated in the current literature. However, despite the progress that have been made in the last decades regarding treatment and evidence-based management of complications, twin pregnancies remain at higher risk of adverse outcomes, requiring therefore dedicated surveillance. Thorough counselling regarding the risks and prenatal care should be offered to all future parents of twin pregnancies. This review aims to summarize the current evidence regarding the management of uncomplicated dichorionic and monochorionic pregnancies.
