Abstract

Several studies have shown an increased risk for monozygotic twinning after fertilization treatments. We present the clinical and sonographic characteristics of two monozygotic twin cases following blastocyst transfer. It is suggested that delayed transfer of the embryo in the blastocyst stage is a contributing factor to monozygotic twinning.
