Intrauterine intestinal volvulus and fetus compressus papyraceus in twins. In a double twin pregnancy revealed on the 16th gestation week by ultrasound examination, a foetus papyraceus was detected on the 20th gestation week in a 29 year old woman. On the 32nd gestational week two monochorionic-diamniotic male stillborn twins were born. One of them (15 cm/35 g) was rudimentary developed and compressed. On examination of the other (39 cm/1485 g) partially macerated foetus, volvulus of small intestine with hemorrhagic necrosis was found at the autopsy. Both of the anomalies are very rare.

Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
