The above ultrasound images reveal reduction of early quadruplet gestation by ablation (using KCl) of 2 fetuses, converting it successfully to a twin gestation (image on right half). Images courtesy of Dr. Udaya Kumar, Chennai, India.

The twin peak sign of Diamnioitic Dichorionic twins:

These ultrasound images demonstrate twin pregnancy at 13 weeks gestation. The intertwin membrane reveals that this is a diamniotic twin pregnancy. Also note the presence of the triangular wedge of placental tissue projecting into the intertwin membrane. This is called the Twin peak sign or the lambda sign which clearly suggests a Dichorionic twin pregnancy. Ultrasound images of Dichorionic gestation courtesy of Dr. Mohammed Sheriff, Tanzania.
