Abstrakt: A prospective study was undertaken in 42 normal twin pregnancies to determine the value of routine ultrasound evaluation in the prenatal diagnosis of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and intra-pair growth discordancy in twin gestations. Use of multiple sonographic parameters significantly improved diagnostic accuracy when compared with the use of single parameters, such as biparietal diameter (BPD) alone in the prepartum diagnosis of these two entities.
