Monozygotic twins account for 30% of all twin pregnancies. The origin of monozygotic twinning is still unclear and different hypotheses have been proposed, the most exiting one suggesting that monozygotic and dizygotic twinning events arise from the same embryogenic mechanism.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5–7</span></a></p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Chorionicity refers to the type of placentation and does not reflect zygosity. Whereas dizygotic twins are always dichorionic, monozygotic twins may be monochorionic or dichorionic depending on when the zygote divides. This is the hypothesis of the Corner's theory<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> which has never been demonstrated in humans,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> but is useful for understanding the development of different types of chorionicity in monozygotic twins. According to this theory, if the split of the zygote occurs during the first three days following fertilization, dichorionic diamniotic twins develop: this occurs in 29% of the cases. When the split occurs 4–7 days after fertilization a monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy develops: this occurs in 70% of the cases. In 1% of the cases the split occurs later (between 8 and 12 days) resulting in monochorionic monoamniotic twins. When a partial splitting of the zygote occurs between 13 and 16 days following fertilization conjoined twins develop; this is an extremely rare condition occurring in up to 200,000 births.</p></span><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0035">Ultrasound diagnosis of chorionicity</span><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although dizygotic twins always have a dichorionic placenta, the appearance of the placentas would depend on the sites of the blastocysts implantation. In case of distant implantations in the uterine cavity two separate placentas can be demonstrated; in case of close implantation they will appear fused in a single placental mass, similar to that of the monozygotic monochorionic twins. However, due to the higher risk of complications, monochorionic twins need an increased surveillance with strict follow-up and for this reason they must be differentiated from the dizygotic dichorionic twins with fused placentae as early as possible.</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleItalic"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">First trimester</span></span> The ideal time to determine chorionicity is the first trimester. As early as 4–5 weeks postmenstrual weeks, by using transvaginal sonography, it is possible to recognize the chorionic sacs inside the uterine cavity within the tick deciduas. They appear as sonolucent round structures with a brightly echogenic rim. By simply counting the chorionic sacs it is possible to establish whether the pregnancy will be monochorionic, dichorionic, trichorionic and so on (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>).</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The visualization of a single chorionic sac at 4–5 weeks, however, does not exclude the possibility of a monochorionic twin pregnancy.

In dichorionic twins with fused placentas, amnios and chorion reflect away from the placental surface, creating a potential space into which villi can grow. Sonographically this space appears as a triangular-shaped extension of placental tissue into the base on the inter-twin membrane. This sign was first described in 1981 as the “lambda” sign<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> and is used interchangeably with the “twin peak” sign described in 1992<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a> (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0020">Fig. 4</a>). In monochorionic pregnancy there is a single layer of continuous chorion limiting the villous growth; the intertwin membrane takes off perpendicularly to the placental surface producing the sonographic sign known as “T” sign (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0025">Fig. 5</a>).</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0020"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0025"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Several studies have confirmed the accuracy of “lambda” and “T” signs in predicting chorionicity in the first trimester, comparing the sonographic diagnosis with the placental hystology or the discordant sex at birth.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13–17</span></a> The sensitivity reported ranges from 89,8% to 100%; the specificity ranges from 97.4% to 99.8% (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0005">Table 1</a>).
