It follows from the above that the classification of the given twin pregnancy into the mono- or dichorionic group is essential. The separation of the two types is based on a number of ultrasound features (number of placentas and their position, thickness of the separating membrane, adhesion: twin peak - lambda signal and T signal), the recognition of which requires great expertise.
Based on the diploma issued by the FMF, we are the only one in Hungary to have gained international expertise in the care of monochorionic pregnancies. In addition, we have participated in nearly 200 intrauterine fetal operations in the treatment of twin-twin transfusion conditions. Timely recognition of the previously mentioned possible complications can significantly improve the favorable outcome of monochorionic twin pregnancies.
In addition to the above, it is important to know that prenatal care in monochorionic and dichorionic twin pregnancies is fundamentally different from individual pregnancies. Our goal is close maternal and fetal monitoring, timely recognition and treatment of complications (preventing the birth of premature babies and preventing the development of maternal conditions such as preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome, gestational diabetes, etc.).
The doctors of the Russian Medical Center carry out ultrasound checks of monochorionic twin pregnancies every 2 weeks from the 16th week, and dichorionic twins every 4 weeks from the 18th week.
