Intrauterine single fetal demise in a twin gestation. A case report.
Intrauterine demise of one fetus in a twin gestation as a rare occurrence not only entails the higher premature and neonatal death rates, fetal distress or abnormal presentation on the surviving twin, but also threatens the mother with toxemia. The consumptive coagulopathy imposes a potential risk of health on both mother and the surviving fetus or neonate. We herein report a 29-year-old nullipara in such case who finally delivered a stillborn and a living one. High risk management and careful pediatric follow-up are recommended.
