Do acardiac twins have brains?
The acardiac twin almost always presents involution of the brain, together with the absence or malformation of other organs (Figure 2). The normal twin can suffer complications such as heart failure, polyhydramnios, hydrops fetalis, and growth restriction, as well as being at high risk for fetal death(4-6).
