Abstract

A case of pentalogy of Cantrell pathology in only one fetus of a twin pregnancy is reported; no congenital malformation was found in the second fetus. This fact would endorse epigenetic theories on its origin. Some thoughts on prenatal diagnosis, etiology and management of these cases are discussed.
