[Abnormal twin pregnancy--early resorption of a single fetus in a twin pregnancy pregnancy].

Introduction: Twin pregnancy presents a condition of development of two fetuses in the uterus and can be monozygotic (single ovum) and dizygotic (two ova). In case of fertilization and segmentation of one ovum monozygotic twins are produced, while in case of fertilization of two ova, which can originate from one or two Graff follicles, dizygotic twins are developed. The ratio of twin and single pregnancies is 1:89 (according to Hellin's law) (1).
