Discordance in nuchal translucency thickness in the prediction of severe twin‐to‐twin transfusion syndrome

To examine in monochorionic pregnancies the possible value of intertwin discordance in nuchal translucency (NT) thickness in the prediction of early fetal death or severe twin–twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).
