- Abstract
Forked cord (FC), which presents as a fused insertion of two umbilical cords into a monochorionic placenta, is a rare entity, especially in monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed two fetuses with active heartbeats and both had their own amniotic membrane, suggesting a MCDA pregnancy (Figure 1a).
