Monochorionic monoamniotic pregnancy are considered high risk gestations and the fetal outcome is at times unpredictable. Correct diagnosis and counselling are extremely important, especially regarding the risk of unexpected fetal demise. We present the rare case of a monochorionic monoamniotic twin pregnancy with early identification of cord entanglement and the characteristic ultrasound findings in the first trimester of pregnancy.
