Abstract
- An acardiac twin is one of the very rare anomalies that occurs in monochorionic twins and the incidence of this is about one out of 35,000 births. We present the serial prenatal ultrasound findings, along with the postnatal histologic correlation, of an acardiac twin that manifested as a single lower extremity.
