title: Multiple intestinal atresia and congenital bilateral perisylvian syndrome in a surviving monochorionic twin with intrauterine death of the co-twin.
abstract: This report presents a case of a surviving monochorionic twin with multiple intestinal atresia and congenital bilateral perisylvian syndrome, which developed after the intrauterine death of the cotwin. The pathology of the placenta demonstrated vein-to-vein communication between the twins and multiple intravascular thrombi in the dead cotwin.
