ABSTRACT

We present the case of a newborn with a diagnosis of microcephaly with a history of having been a monochorial, biamnotic twin pregnancy, with intrauterine death of the other twin. Before diagnosing fetal-fetal transfusion syndrome, other associated diseases were ruled out by laboratory and imaging studies.
