There is a higher complication rate in monochorionic (shared placenta) twin gestations as a result of the placental connections between the twins. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Fetoscopic umbilical cord cauterization to prevent neurologic injury in monochorionic twins ❋ Unknown (2010)
Given that intrauterine death of one fetus in monochorionic twin pregnancies is associated with a 50-percent loss of the other twin, or a 40 to 60 percent incidence of significant neurologic injury if the other twin survives the death of its co-twin, the risks to the donor twin in this case for death or neurologic injury were high. ❋ Unknown (2010)
This course, through a series of didactic lectures and interactive case presentations, will provide participants enhanced practical, evidence-based management skills for diagnosing and managing monochorionic pregnancies complicated by Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS). ❋ Unknown (2010)
Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) occurs only in the setting of a monochorionic pregnancy and complicates approximately 1 percent of monochorionic twin gestations, with an incidence of 1 in 35,000 births. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The inter-twin membrane has two layers (amnion-amnion) in monochorionic gestations, which appear thin, versus three layers (amnion-chorion-amnion) in dichorionic gestations. ❋ Unknown (2010)
& The tests had shown the twins had Twin-twin Transfusion Syndrome or TTTS, a condition in which identical twins have a monochorionic or shared placenta. ❋ Unknown (2010)
In utero percutaneous umbilical-cord ligation in the management of complicated monochorionic multiple gestations. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Selective bipolar umbilical cord cautery and transection of anomalous parabiotic twin The patient was a 33-year-old, second pregnancy, referred at 21 weeks gestational age for pregnancy complicated by a monochorionic, monoamniotic (single shared placenta, single shared amniotic sac) twin pregnancy, with one twin reported to have multiple congenital anomalies. ❋ Unknown (2010)
An 18-year-old African-American couple was referred for their first pregnancy at 19 weeks gestational age for a monochorionic, diamniotic twin gestation complicated by severe Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome. ❋ Unknown (2010)
She was a 24-year-old mother with two prior children who was referred at 17 1/2 weeks gestation because of a monochorionic, diamniotic twin gestation complicated by TRAP sequence. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Hippocrates, in his work on the ` ` Nature of the Infant, '' tells us that twins are the result of a single coitus, and we are also informed that each infant has a chorion; so that both kinds of plural gestation (monochorionic and dichorionic) were known to the ancients. ❋ Unknown (1896)
There is also a reference to monochorionic twins (which are by modern teratologists regarded as monstrosities) in the treatise De Superfoetatione, in which it is stated that ` ` a woman, pregnant with twins, gives birth to them both at the same time, just as she has conceived them; the two infants are in a single chorion. '' ❋ Unknown (1896)

However, only about 20\% of twins are monochorionic (share the same placenta). ❋ Unknown (2008)
Overall, about 15\% of all monochorionic twins have some degree of TTTS. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The reason that this is significant is that only monochorionic twins can develop Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome. ❋ Unknown (2008)
That means that only 6.44 pregnancies in 1,000 are monochorionic pregnancies. ❋ Unknown (2008)
(monochorionic and dichorionic) were known to the ancients. ❋ Unknown (1896)
