Abstract
Objective. To carry out a systematic review of the data available in the present-day literature and the principles and methods of diagnosing complications due monochorionic multiple pregnancy. Materials and methods. The review included the data of the foreign articles published in the past 5 years, which had been found in Pubmed and ScienceDirect on this topic. Results. The diagnostic criteria for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome and anemia-polycythemia syndrome were described. The early diagnostic markers of developing the complications and the fundamentals for examining monochorionic multiple pregnancy were given. Conclusion. The use of the clinical guidelines and examination protocols in monochorionic twins, which are given in the review, will be able to timely diagnose the complications and to perform adequate treatment.
