The December issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes an observational cohort study assessing the neurodevelopmental outcomes of uncomplicated monochorionic diamniotic twins, a systematic review evaluating the use of twin vs singleton growth charts for identifying small-for-gestational-age fetuses at risk of adverse neonatal outcomes, a study investigating the performance of non-invasive prenatal testing in vanishing-twin and multiple pregnancies, and a prospective cohort study examining the prevalence of LAM avulsion after forceps-assisted and vacuum-assisted deliveries.

The September issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review evaluating the impact of endometrial thickness on the reproductive outcomes of embryo transfer treatments, a cost-utility analysis modeling the clinical and economic impact of cervical-length screening strategies among twin pregnancies, a study on the association between adverse perinatal outcome and the recent parvovirus B19 infection upsurge, a study comparing the diagnostic accuracy of sonography-based risk models in assessing pediatric adnexal lesions, and a ‘How To’ article on the 20 + 2-planes method.

This guidance will address the role of ultrasound in the care of uncomplicated twin pregnancies and those complicated by TTTS, selective FGR (sFGR), twin anemia–polycythemia sequence (TAPS), twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence, conjoined twins and single intrauterine death (IUD).

Watch the presentation by Prof. Asma Khalil summarising the key recommendations and supporting evidence of the updated ISUOG Practice Guideline on the role of ultrasound in twin pregnancy.

Read the newly updated ISUOG Practice Guidelines on the role of ultrasound in twin pregnancy.

The December issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review on the management and outcome of fetal abdominal cyst in the first trimester, a Danish cohort study on the validation of Fetal Medicine Foundation charts for fetal growth in twin pregnancies, a study comparing biparietal diameter vs crown–rump length for late first-trimester pregnancy dating and a pilot study evaluating the use of the two-step International Ovarian Tumor Analysis group strategy for classifying adnexal masses identified in pregnancy.

Multiple pregnancies account for 2-3% of live births and involve the presence of more than one fetus in the uterus, presenting unique challenges for both maternal and fetal health. Chorionicity refers to the number of placentas, while amnionicity describes the number of amniotic sacs.

Twin Anemia Polycythemia Sequence (TAPS) is a relatively rare but potentially severe fetal condition that occurs in monochorionic twin pregnancies.

This autumn, ISUOG (International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology) will host a series of webinars in various languages aimed at engaging healthcare professionals involved in ultrasound who speak Portuguese, French, and/or Spanish.

The April issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review on the diagnostic performance of prenatal ultrasound in coarctation of the aorta, a nationwide cohort study on the outcome of multifetal reduction in quadruplet pregnancy, a study validating the IETA-1 model for intracavitary uterine pathology in women without abnormal uterine bleeding and a summary of the findings of a systematic review on cervical cerclage in twin pregnancy.
