In monochorionic twins with sFGR, neonatal cerebral ultrasound reveals an overall, proportional restriction in brain growth, with smaller cerebral structures, less white/deep gray matter and smaller overall brain-size parameters in the smaller twin. There was a positive linear relationship between BWD and intracranial-volume discordance, with intracranial-volume discordance being smaller than BWD. © 2021 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
