    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A twin presented with ileal atresia and hydranencephaly after its co-twin died in utero. This case highlights the need for pediatricians to screen surviving infants for serious, hidden defects when a macerated or autolysed twin is detected.

    Area of Science:

    • Perinatology
    • Neonatalogy
    • Congenital Abnormalities

    Background:

    • Twin gestation presents unique challenges in prenatal and postnatal care.
    • Congenital anomalies can affect one or both twins, impacting survival and development.

    Observation:

    • A case report details a surviving twin born with ileal atresia and hydranencephaly.
    • The co-twin demised around 24 weeks of gestation, presenting as macerated or autolysed.

    Findings:

    • Ileal atresia is a congenital blockage of the small intestine.
    • Hydranencephaly is a severe brain malformation where the cerebrum is replaced by fluid.

    Implications:

    • The presence of a macerated or autolysed twin necessitates heightened vigilance for occult defects in the survivor.
