Fetus papyraceus is a mummified, compressed fetus occurring in association with a viable twin. The death of the fetus usually occurs early in the second trimester. A co-twin dying earlier may be absorbed completely, whilst later fetal death usually results in macerated, but not compressed fetuses. This course of events can be well demonstrated by ultrasonography. The death of one fetuses may be associated with minor malformations of the surviving one. After termination of twin pregnancies the detailed check-up of the newborn and histopathological examination of the placenta is essential.
纸样胎儿是指与存活双胎之一同时存在的、已木乃伊化且被压缩的胎儿。该胎儿通常在妊娠中期早期死亡。较早死亡的双胎之一可能会被完全吸收，而较晚发生的胎儿死亡通常会导致浸软但未被压缩的胎儿。这一系列事件可通过超声检查很好地显示出来。一个胎儿的死亡可能与存活胎儿的轻微畸形有关。双胎妊娠终止后，对新生儿进行详细检查并对胎盘进行组织病理学检查至关重要。
