Conservative management of fetus papyraceus : a report of two cases

Abstract EN

The term fetus papyraceus is used to describe a mummified fetus associated with multiple gestations where one fetus dies and is flattened between the membranes of living fetus and uterine wall.

Though the maternal and fetal complications in affected cases can be severe, we report of two cases of fetus papyraceus managed conservatively without any complications.

Successful outcome is related to careful monitoring during pregnancy
