Monochorionic Monoamniotic Twin

Figer-1

📄 Report Sample Line- Monochorionic Monoamniotic Twin
A monochorionic monoamniotic twin gestation, characterized by the presence of a single shared placenta and the absence of an intertwin dividing membrane. Both fetuses are seen within a common amniotic sac with free-floating umbilical cords, raising risk for cord entanglement. Each fetus demonstrates appropriate biometric measurements for gestational age, with normal cardiac activity and symmetrical growth. Amniotic fluid volume is adequate and appears evenly distributed. Doppler studies including umbilical artery, ductus venosus, and middle cerebral artery are within normal limits for both twins.”


Conclussion: 📋 Findings are consistent with a monochorionic monoamniotic twin pregnancy with appropriate fetal growth, normal Doppler parameters, and no evidence of discordance or complications at the time of this scan. High-risk configuration due to shared amniotic cavity and increased risk of cord entanglement.
Recommendation: Serial ultrasound and Doppler assessments every 1–2 weeks

B. Cord entanglement
C. High perinatal mortality from cord accidents
D. Need for inpatient monitoring

5. Recommended antenatal surveillance for MCMA twins often includes: 5. MCMA जुड़वाँ के लिए अनुशंसित प्रसवपूर्व निगरानी अक्सर किसे शामिल करती है?
