Nonidentical Twins with a Single Placenta — Disproving Dogma in Perinatal Pathology

9 Jul 2003

Abstract excerpt

Generations of trainees have been taught that monochorionic twin placentas are monozygotic. A report by Souter et al. in this issue of the Journal (pages 154–158) invalidates this simple rule by convincingly demonstrating the association of a monochorionic placenta with dizygotic twins. A brief review of the current understanding of twin pregnancy may help to put this new finding into perspective.Dizygotic, or...
