Chorionicity inaccurately predicted by early ultrasound: a case report.
Ultrasound has been found to be extremely accurate in diagnosing the chorionicity of multiple gestations. Prenatal counselling and/or planning for selective termination is most often based on the sonographic prediction of chorionicity. We present a case of triplet pregnancy in which early sonographic prediction of chorionicity did not match the pathological diagnosis at delivery.
