Twin pregnancy with fetus papyraceous.
A successful pregnancy outcome with vaginal delivery of a term single live fetus in case of twin pregnancy with other twin papyraceous, (vanished in second trimester) is an uncommon finding. Ten percent of all perinatal deaths are related with dizygotic twins. The rate of intrauterine fetal demise in multiple pregnancies is as high as three times of monozygotic. Most frequently used and suggested method is follow-up of the maternal coagulation system by a series of lab test. Sonography is a visual tool to confirm the diagnosis. In case of monofetal death of twin pregnancies, the type of placenta should be analysed and then follow up and treatment modalities of these cases should be choosen.
