The development of an acardius in a monozygotic multiple pregnancy has been reported in more than 200 cases. We present the case of an acardius acephalus in a twin pregnancy additionally complicated by a serious cardiac malformation of the donor twin (single ventricle). Antenatal diagnosis and development as well as intrauterine treatment of the donor twin from 26 to 34 weeks of gestation are described.
