Abstract
A case of monoamniotic monochorionic (MAMC) female twins, with one twin being anencephalic, and the co-twin being normal, is reported. Twin to twin transfusion syndrome was also noted. The reasons for anencephaly in association with monozygotic (MZ) twinning are discussed. The management of such a case is presented.
