CRL discordance and abnormal cord insertions are strongly associated with the development sFGR in monochorionic pregnancies. A combination of these two markers shows promising potential as a screening test to identify pregnancies at a high risk for development of sFGR. Earlier diagnosis can help plan timely fetal intervention and improve the overall outcomes of these pregnancies. These markers need to be validated in larger studies before being adopted for screening of monochorionic pregnancies.
