A case of a 32 year old woman, gravida III, AI CII entering the hospital for abdominal rapid growth, abnormal fetal heart rate, polyhydramnios and respiratory distress during hospitalization have high blood pressure and starts to labor, Kerr practiced cesarean rate and you get male with generalized edema, severe apgar 1/0, weighing close to 4 kg, confirmed polyhydramnios, which dies after 10 min, the evolution of the patient is satisfactory and leave the hospital four days later in good condition with no maternal hypertension or edema. Mirror syndrome is characterized by severe malformations that reflects the important hemodynamic mother, perinatal outcome is bad in most newborns and mothers is satisfactory and that no reported cases pregnancy is allowed to proceed, is interrupted as the diagnosis is made and this prevents the disease evolves.
