title: [Peculiarities of multiple pregnancy: diagnosis].
abstract: Before ultrasound was aggressively introduced into everyday obstetrical practice, diagnosis, prophylaxis and active pre- and perinatal management were at best inadequate, but more often nonexistent. Twin pregnancies were complicated by high perinatal morbidity and mortality. The use of classical radiography was limited due to proven teratogenic and carcinogenic properties. Introduction of ultrasound dramatically changed the obstetrician's approach to twin pregnancy management. This paper discusses in detail the recent advances in ultrasound diagnosis of twin pregnancy.
