The lambda sign refers to the triangular projection of chorion between the layers of inter-twin membranes which resembles the Greek alphabet “lambda” (Fig. 1). It is best observed between 10 and 14 weeks of gestation on pelvic sonography, and its presence is highly suggestive of dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twin pregnancy (Fig. 2). The fused dichorionic placenta also assumes the appearance of a mountain top between the twin gestational sacs; thus the metaphorical source of its alternate title, the “twin peak” sign (Fig. 3) [1].
