Abstract

Monoamniotic twin pregnancies are relatively rare, occurring in 1 to 3 percentage. They are of particular concern to the obstetrician because the associated perinatal mortality is high.B Major cause of fetal death are umbilical cord entanglement, congenital abnormalities, and twin-twin transfusion syndrom, preterm delivery. A case of single fetal death in a monoamniotic twin with the entanglement of umbilical cord is reported with a brief review of the literatures.
