  • Title: Acardiac acephalic monster extremely larger than its co-twin. A case report.
    Author: Imai A, Hirose R, Kawabata I, Tamaya T.
    Journal: Gynecol Obstet Invest; 1991; 32(1):62-4. PubMed ID: 1765322.
    Abstract:
    The acardiac monster represents a rare but one of the severest congenital anomalies which occur only in multiple pregnancy. The affected fetus is sustained by a parasitic anastomosis to the umbilical blood vessels of the normal fetus. We report an interesting case of a macrosomic acardiac acephalic fetus weighing 4.5-fold of another variable donor fetus (approximately 6 kg) in a twin pregnancy.
