Table 1.
Ultrasound Parameters | Diagnostic Criteria | Complications |
---|---|---|
Amniotic fluid discordance | DVP < 2 cm and >8 (<20 weeks) or >10 (>20 weeks) cm | Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) |
Fetal biometry and Doppler | -EFW < 3rd centile in one twin OR >2 criteria among -EFW and/or AC < 10th percentile -UA PI > 95th percentile -EFW discordance > 25% |
Selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR) |
MCA-PSV | MCA-PSV > 1.5 MoM in one twin and <1 MoM in the other | Twin anemia polycythemia syndrome (TAPS) |
DVP = deepest vertical pocket; EFW = estimated fetal weight; AC = abdominal circumference; UA = umbilical artery; PI = pulsatility index; MCA = middle cerebral artery; PSV = peak systolic velocity; MoM = multiple of medians.
