Abstract

Multicystic encephalomalacia occurs in approximately 20% of surviving cotwins after second- and third-trimester intrauterine fetal death of one twin in monochorionic pregnancies. We report a case of multicystic encephalomalacia after the demise of a cotwin in the first trimester diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed pathologically.
