Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2005 Sep;193(3 Pt 1):887-8. doi: 10.1016/j.ajog.2005.02.095.

Abstract

Second-trimester twin-to-twin transfusion is well known, but first-trimester cases rarely have been described. We present the case of a monochorionic twin at 11+0 weeks of gestation with single increased nuchal translucency and normal karyotypes. At 12+5 weeks of gestation, double intrauterine death was diagnosed, followed by delivery of a strikingly red and white fetus.
