Monochorionic monoamniotic twin: prenatal diagnosis of cord entanglement and its management

In year 2016, we managed three cases of monochorionic monoamniotic (MCMA) and all were found to have cord entanglements. The diagnosis was made at 17-21 weeks of gestations. The management includes: fortnightly Doppler ultrasound of the umbilical arteries and middle cerebral arteries till 28 weeks...
