Placental abnormalities differ between small for gestational age fetuses in dichorionic twin and singleton pregnancies

Twin fetuses grow slower during the third trimester compared with singletons. However, the extent to which the relative smallness of twins is the result of placenta-mediated factors similar to those associated with fetal growth restriction in singletons remains unclear. Our aim was to address this question by comparing placental findings between small for gestational age (SGA) twins and SGA singletons.
