[Intrauterine intestinal volvulus and fetus compressus papyraceus in twins].

Intrauterine intestinal volvulus and fetus compressus papyraceus in twins. In a double twin pregnancy revealed on the 16th gestation week by ultrasound examination, a foetus papyraceus was detected on the 20th gestation week in a 29 year old woman. On the 32nd gestational week two monochorionic-diamniotic male stillborn twins were born. One of them (15 cm/35 g) was rudimentary developed and compressed. On examination of the other (39 cm/1485 g) partially macerated foetus, volvulus of small intestine with hemorrhagic necrosis was found at the autopsy. Both of the anomalies are very rare.
