  • Title: A case of acardiac anomaly in the cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis): a complication of monozygotic monochorial twinning.
    Author: Hein PR, van Groeninghen JC, Puts JJ.
    Journal: J Med Primatol; 1985; 14(3):133-42. PubMed ID: 4009692.
    Abstract:
    A case of acardius acephalus in a Macaca fascicularis is reported. This congenital anomaly occurs only in multiple-birth gestations (most commonly monozygotic twins). Artery-to-artery and vein-to-vein anastomoses appear to be a constant feature. This condition is very rare in man and probably even more so in monkeys. Classification and theories on etiology are discussed.
