Abstract
The evaluation of 2 cases of twin transfusion syndrome by conventional and real-time B-scan ultrasound is described. The importance of differentiating this syndrome from the isolated growth failure of 1 fetus in a twin pregnancy with a normally developing 2nd fetus is emphasized. Assessment of placentation, fetal size and activity, and amount of fluid by diagnostic ultrasound is an important aid in the management of multiple gestation.
