Three cases of fetus papyraceus in twin pregnancy were seen over a 4-month period. They were associated with an antepartum stillbirth and intrauterine growth retardation of the larger twin. Two of the 3 mothers exhibited hypertension. It is concluded, therefore, that the appearance of a fetus papyraceus frequently indicates the presence of a hostile intrauterine environment. We suggest that serial ultrasonic examinations be performed to confirm the diagnosis of fetus papyraceus. In this way, appropriate therapy may be directed toward a better outcome for the second twin.
