In MCDA twin pregnancies with no major fetal abnormalities, measurement of NT at the 11-13-week scan is a poor screening test for adverse pregnancy outcome. However, the finding in one or both fetuses of NT ≥ 95th percentile, and more so ≥ 99th percentile, is associated with a substantially increased risk of fetal loss or need for endoscopic laser surgery at < 20 weeks' gestation. The extent to which closer monitoring and earlier intervention in the high-risk group can reduce these complications remains to be determined. Copyright © 2019 ISUOG.
