  • Abstract:
  • Vanishing twin syndrome is a condition in which one of a set of twins or multiple embryos dies in utero, disappear, or gets resorbed, resulting in a spontaneous reduction of a multi-fetus pregnancy to a singleton pregnancy. This phenomenon typically occurs in the first trimester and can often go unnoticed due to common obstetric complications. The pathophysiology involves abnormalities present from early development, as demonstrated in studies showing flattened placental sacs and fragmented products of conception. Avoid creating or sharing content involving sensitive topics and substances. This article reviews the scientific literature discussing the vanishing twin phenomenon. Information pertaining to frequency, etiology, and potential complications, as well as the impact of sonographic technology on our growing understanding of the events in early multiple pregnancy is provided.
