With the increasing rate of twin pregnancies due to increase in maternal age and use of assisted reproduction, it is important to be aware of unique diseases which occur specifically to twin pregnancies, especially in monochorionic twin pregnancies. These entities include twin to twin transfusion syndrome, twin anemia polycythemia sequence, twin reversed arterial perfusion, cotwin demise, and conjoined twins.
