The classification is based on the umbilical artery (UA) diastolic flow reflecting the outcome. If the sFGR twin has positive diastolic flow (Type I) then the prognosis is good, and it does not require close surveillance. Biweekly or weekly sonographic and Doppler surveillance and fetal monitoring are recommended strategies to detect unpredictable complications in type II and type III forms, which are defined by persistently absent\/reverse end-diastolic flow (AREDF) or cyclically intermittent absent\/reverse end-diastolic flow (iAREDF) in the umbilical waveforms, respectively. The latest forms are associated with an increased risk of unexpected fetal demise of the smaller twin and 10\u201320% risk of neurological injury in the larger twin in addition to the overall risk of prematurity. The clinical course can be affected by elective fetal therapy (\u2018dichorinization\u2019 of the placenta with laser or selective fetal reduction) or elective delivery in the presence of severe fetal deterioration. The prediction of the clinical outcome in complicated cases of type II and III sFGR cases remains elusive. Novel routines in fetal and placental scans in order to predict neurological impairments and unexpected fetal death to optimize the delivery time-point are needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59040648","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,24]],"date-time":"2023-03-24T06:34:07Z","timestamp":1679639647000},"page":"648","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The High-Risk Profile of Selective Growth Restriction in Monochorionic Twin Pregnancies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7485-9895","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zoltan","family":"Kozinszky","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Danderyds Hospital, 182 88 Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Sur\u00e1nyi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Albert Szent-Gy\u00f6rgyi Medical School, University of Szeged, 6725 Szeged, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"100501","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajogmf.2021.100501","article-title":"Monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies","volume":"4","author":"Lewi","year":"2022","journal-title":"Am.
