Maternal and neonatal outcome in a monochorionic twin pregnancy complicated by single intrauterine demise.
Single fetal death in monochorionic pregnancies is believed to be associated with increased risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality for the living twin and risk of coagulopathy affecting the mother. In this report we present a case of single intrauterine death in a monochorionic twin gestation diagnosed in the 28th week of pregnancy.
