Objective: To present and discuss the sonographic and clinical findings in one twin of a monochorionic pair affected by amyoplasia. Methods: On ultrasound examination at 21 weeks in a monochorionic twin pregnancy, twin I was smaller, hydropic, with multiple contractures consistent with amyoplasia and oligohydramnios. Twin II was anatomically normal with polyhydramnios. Results: The twins were delivered at 28 weeks' gestation. The clinical findings were consistent with twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Conclusion: It is postulated that TTTS may be a causative factor in the excessive incidence of amyoplasia in monozygotic twin pregnancy. Copyright (C) 2009 S. Karger AG, Basel
