    Abstract:
    Discordant twins are of obstetrical concern because of high morbidity and mortality of either the smaller or the larger twin, or both. The discordance becomes apparent usually in the second trimester. We report a case of discordant twins diagnosed in the 10th week of gestation, which was concluded to be a case of superfecundation. The discordancy was persistent up to the 35th week of gestation, when 2 baby boys were born by cesarean section because of preeclampsia. The postnatal courses of the babies were uneventful.
