ABSTRACT Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence (acardiac twin) is one of the rare complications of multifetal gestation which is unique to monochorionic placentation. It affects about 1% of multifetal gestation and prevalence is one in 35,000 pregnancies. We are presenting a case of acardiac acephalus with ventricular hypertrophy and polyhydramnios of pump twin. Autopsy of acardiac twin was done and various anomalies associated with it were described. Acardiac twin showed anomalies consistent with VACTERL anomalies and single umbilical artery. This case is reported because of the rarity of presentation and to stress the importance of early diagnosis for the proper management of the case. This is taken as an opportunity to describe various modalities of treatment of acardiac twin. How to cite this article Muralidhar L, Govindraj SK, Venkatesh S, Thimmaiah R.

The article by Froehlich and Fujikura1 on the prognosis of single umbilical artery is a much needed and highly informative addition to the literature. It presents a great deal of information and some important implications as to future management. We question the mortality rates quoted. They are given as percentages, and include stillbirths and neonatal deaths, i.e., perinatal mortality. The figure given as the general mortality rate is 3.8% or 38 per 1,000 births. Previous figures cited for perinatal mortality in the United States have varied from approximately 19 per 1,000 to approximately 26 per 1,000.2-4 We wonder how the figure of 38 per 1,000 was determined.
