Clin Case Rep. 2021 May 15;9(5):e04184. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.4184. eCollection 2021 May.

Although rare, literature demonstrates evidence that vascular anastomoses do occur in dichorionic twins. Therefore, twin anemia polycythemia sequence should be considered as a differential diagnoses in dichorionic twins if there is suspicion on antenatal ultrasound.
