Abstract
This is the first study to suggest that in diamniotic-monochorionic twin gestations, the choriovascular architecture correlates with the cord insertion type of the co-twin. In general, velamentous cord insertion is associated with expanded choriovascular distribution in the opposite twin territory. Our observations may reflect novel manifestations of twin interdependence in monochorionic pregnancies.
