Prenatal Diagnosis of Fetus in Fetu with a Well Formed Skull: A Rare Case Report ()
ABSTRACT
Fetus in fetu is an
extremely rare condition embryologically arising in monozygotic diamniotic
twins with an incidence of 1:500,000 births. To the best of our knowledge,
number of reported cases should not be more than 100 with majority of cases
presenting in post natal life with only 5 cases detected prenatally. We are
presenting a case diagnosed at 24 weeks of gestation on ultrasound with
presence of well formed skull, facial skeleton and bony orbit.
