Abstract

The diagnosis of twin pregnancy whilst causing delight for many of the parents and families involved is a source of concern and worry for their obstetric caregivers. This review will not deal with the myriad complications of twin pregnancies but will concentrate on two for which Doppler ultrasound has been often discussed; placental insufficiency and the problems of shared placental circulations in monochorionic twins.
