Our work demonstrates that TAPS-related MRI anomalies consisted in edematous/hemorrhagic lesions that occur mostly in anemic rather than in polycythemic twins. Fetoscopic laser surgery could have a potential decongestant role. Therefore, prenatal MRI may help in counselling and management in TAPS pregnancies, especially for the planning of therapy and the monitoring of its efficacy.
