Objective To evaluate the contribution of new imaging techniques in the prenatal diagnosis of skeletal dysplasia. Methods Between May and October 2003, a prospective study was conducted in a single referral center. Threedimensional ultrasound (3D-US) and three-dimensional helical computer tomography (3D-HCT) were performed after two-dimensional ultrasound (2D-US) in six cases

Cerebral morbidity in TTTS mainly occurs following vascular disruptive lesions. Both donors and recipients are at risk of developing either ischemic or hemorrhagic lesions. The risk of developing cerebral lesions in single survivors is significantly lower following laser treatment. Combined use of a targeted US and fetal MRI could detect most cerebral abnormalities antenatally. Timing of the triggering event is critical for planning serial US and MRI follow-up examinations.
