Abstract :
[en] What's already known about this topic?
If one twin dies during pregnancy, its placental part degenerates as it is no longer perfused.
What does this report add?
In monochorionic twin pregnancies, the surviving twin may recruit the placental share of its demised co‐twin through a large arterio‐arterial and veno‐venous anastomosis.
