abstract: The authors report 7 cases of death of one foetus during multiples pregnancies in 107 pregnancies during the second and the third quarter. The rate is 6.54%. Five cases are complicated by toxaemia which increased the caesarean rate. The placenta is monochorial in 4 cases. The hemostasis check up shows a drop of fibrinogen and the rate of thrombin, which normalised after delivery. One patient developed in septicaemia after caesarean delivery. Concerning the surviving foetus: 5 of them had en intra uterine under development, 2 of them were premature and one developed an encephalopathy.
