- Abstract
- The antepartum death of a fetus in a twin pregnancy may cause significant risk of mortality and morbidity in the surviving infant. Especially, one fetal demise of a twin pregnancy in the second or third trimester is an uncommon and difficult problem in the management of pregnancy. In this report, we present a case of single intrauterine death in a twin gestation diagnosed in the 27th week of pregnancy and the surviving fetus exhibits multicystic encephalomalacia three weeks later, antenatally.
