Abstract
Vasa previa is associated with specific prenatal and obstetric complications with different outcomes in singletons compared to twins. Data on the diagnosis and management of vasa previa in twin pregnancies are limited but there is enough evidence to warrant guidelines for targeted screening. To enable the development of efficient management protocols tailored to the need of individual cases, future studies of the screening, diagnosis, and management of vasa previa should be prospective and multicentric with detailed data on twins including chorionicity and use of cervical length.
