Dichorionic, diamnionic twin pregnancy discordant for anencephaly: Report of two cases and literature review

چکیده

In the unique situation of a twin pregnancy discordant for anencephaly, early ultrasound diagnosis based on the discrepancy in the appearance of the heads can facilitate management and potentially decrease morbidity and mortality for the unaffected twin. We report two such cases of dichorionic, diamniotic twin pregnancies and provide a review of the literature.
