How to better distinguish between Type II and III selective fetal growth restriction in monochorionic twin pregnancies?

CONCLUSIONS: The presence of an AA anastomosis, signs of cardiac strain in the large twin, and proximate cord insertions suggested Type III sFGR, whereas placental dichotomy and a severe growth restriction were typically present in Type II. Prospective studies need to validate if these markers help prenatal differentiation between Type II and III sFGR.
