Case of vanishing twin in Haifa hospital
Physicians at the Rambam Medical Center are fighting for the life of a newborn whose twin brother had died in utero and was partially reabsorbed into his body. Two days ago doctors surgically removed some of the dead fetus' organs, yet they said the baby is still not out of danger.
The hospital staff said some 150 cases of twin embolisation syndrome, or vanishing twin syndrome, are recorded in modern medical history. (Ahia Raved)
