Abstract The incidence of multifetal pregnancies has dramatically increased due to assisted reproductive technology. As a result, preterm labor, Preterm premature rupture of the membranes, congenital anomalies and fetal losses are commonly encountered by obstetricians. Despite advances in diagnostic modalities and prenatal care, many times the complications associated with multifetal pregnancies may remain undiagnosed. Complications are more with monochorionic twin gestation due to placental sharing. “Twin – reversed arterial perfusion” sequence or “acardiac twin” is one such complication. This case report presents an antenatally undiagnosed monochorionic twin pregnancy, resulting in preterm delivery of a healthy, normal twin along with an acardiac acephalus co-twin.

AbstractAcardiac twin pregnancy is a rare complication of monochorionic twinning caused by aterioarterial and venovenous placental anastomosis, leading to circulatory predominance of one twin (1). The donor “pump’ twin provides circulation for itself as well as and for the recipient acardiac twin. The acardiac twin is usually grossly abnormal with severe reduction anamolies of the upper part of the body. We present a case of acephalus acardiac anomaly diagnosed by ultrasound, with subsequent post delivery followup.
