[Delayed delivery. Two cases, and review of the literature].

Delayed deliveries are rarely encountered in multiple pregnancies. They are useful in case of premature fetus. We report two case of delayed delivery; the first one of 23 days in a twin pregnancy, and the second one of 4 days in a triplet pregnancy. In both cases, the first delivered fetus died, and the later one or ones survived. Delayed delivery is a good management practice for multiple pregnancies in case of prematurity if no contraindications exist.
