Abstract
The Zavanelli maneuver was applied to locked twins. After the first infant was returned into the vagina, an emergency cesarean section was performed. After a not-too-good start, both children did well. The Zavanelli maneuver is presented as a method to reverse the potentially catastrophic situation of locked twins.
