Abstract The development of an acardiac twin in a monochorionic multiple pregnancy is a rare and severe complication of abnormal placental vascular anastomoses. These malformed fetuses present with a very bizarre morphology and a plethora of different malformations. However, all acardiac twins show either a complete absence or a rudimental anlage of the heart. Cerebral development is usually poor. We report - according to our review of the literature - for the first time a very unusual case of an acardius with features of an acardius amorphus and acormus (fused head, malformed axial skeleton without macroscopically detectable internal organs) with lobar holoprosencephaly and intracerebral pigmented retina-like tissue. |
