Fetal testing in twins.
The incidence of twin pregnancies continues to rise with increasing use of assisted fertility techniques. The search for accurate methods of chorionicity determination and aneuploidy screening, and the outcome following multi-fetal pregnancy reduction dominate the recent literature. In addition, debate on the aetiology and management of the transfusional complications of monochorionicity continues.
