Amniography for confirming the diagnosis of monoamniotic twinning. A case report.
In a case of monoamniotic twinning, amniography was used to confirm the diagnosis. This modality, old but now employed infrequently, helps establish the absence of a dividing membrane and complements currently used ultrasound diagnostic methods. A successful outcome resulted. Amniography should be considered a useful diagnostic modality in the management of twin gestations and not be relegated to the past.
