  9. DISCUSSION • Incidence- 1:184 of Twin pregnancies (.54%) • The amniotic fluid and sometimes the placental tissue may be reabsorbed, and the dead foetus is compressed between the amniotic sac of the co-twin and the uterine wall. • Degree of compression depends upon the interval between death of the foetus and delivery.
