A case of fetofetal transfusion syndrome (FFTS) in a monochorionic triplet pregnancy, in which all three fetuses shared a common circulation, is reported. All babies were born alive, although two died within two days of delivery. This case highlights the problem of FFTS with accompanying high perinatal morbidity and mortality in naturally occurring monochorionic triplet gestations.
