Abstract

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 fi nding.
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 confi rm 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.
