Diagnostic Performance of Prenatal Ultrasound to Detect Velamentous Cord Insertion in Twin Pregnancies
Prenatal ultrasonographic detection of VCI in twin pregnancies has high specificity but limited sensitivity. Diagnostic performance was influenced by examiners' experience and chorionicity. Routine assessment of cord insertion sites and targeted training might improve detection and support the optimized perinatal management of twin pregnancies.
