Abstract

Fetal acardia is a rare complication that affects monochorionic/diaminiotic twin pregnancies and is characterized by the presence of a fetus with no heart (acardiac fetus) or a rudimentary heart (hemicardiac fetus). The objective of the present article is to present a case of fetal acardia with diagnosis confirmed by anatomopathological examination in which the "pump fetus" survived the pregnancy without specific treatment and without intercurrences.
