discrepant twins

I read with interest the account of Terry's case. Recently we had twins with a 2 week size difference noted on scan in the first trimester. The smaller twin was live and grew for a few weeks but died in the 2nd trimester. I htink the woman is still carrying the survivor.

I'd never come across this before and assumed for a while that it was an U/S error. Is there much written about this?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
