MCMA twins are at high risk of perinatal loss during the third trimester of pregnancy, with the large majority of such losses occurring as apparently unexpected events. Inpatient management seems to be associated with a lower rate of mortality, although further studies are needed in order to establish the appropriate type and timing of prenatal assessment in these pregnancies.
