Abstract
The twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence is a rare complication unique to multiple pregnancies. Here we report a case of a 24 year old primigravida who delivered first twin at a peripheral hospital and was referred as a case of Obstructed labour of second twin with breech presentation. No USG was done throughout her antenatal period. She underwent caesarean section and delivered an Acardiac Twin at our hospital. The first twin was a female baby of 2.4kg. Mother and the first baby were discharged healthy after 7 days. With early diagnosis by USG and proper antenatal care this would have been prevented.
