Monoamniotic twin pregnancies can be diagnosed reliably by ultrasound alone in most cases. Frequent antenatal testing may show signs of cord compression that may prompt delivery but will not prevent sudden fetal death. Fetal death can occur at greater than 32 weeks' gestation despite intensive fetal surveillance. Elective preterm delivery could be considered to eliminate the uncertain risk of fetal death.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
