Multiple pregnancy care based only on knowledge of fetal number does not satisfy clinical practice any more. Appropriate clinical use of data obtained via skilled and timely ultrasound has been proven to be of great value for reduction of typical complication rate in multiple pregnancy for both fetus and mother. Ultrasonography plays a key role when intrauterine interventions during pregnancy are required. It can be successfully used for both precise prenatal diagnosis of numerous chromosomal and congenital diseases and antenatal treatment of multiple pregnancy-specific complications, so medical professionals should be well-trained and experienced. And it is impossible without everyday clinical work, gaining individual knowledge and skills and being informed on developments and achievements in the best world recognized perinatal centers.
