Early third trimester selective feticide of a compromising twin.
We report successful selective feticide of an anomalous, comprising twin by using intracardiac potassium chloride injection at 26 weeks gestation. This was associated with later delivery and survival of a very low birth weight infant with normal neurodevelopmental follow-up at 2 years. We suggest that selective feticide in such cases may have an important role to play in management.
