In twin pregnancies single intrauterine death of one fetus is associated with significant morbidity and mortality of the surviving infant. The aims of our retrospective study were to review conditions of twin pregnancies complicated with SIUD in Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital in Łódź between 1989-1999 and to assess the fetal outcome when conservative management had undergone. In this study we reviewed 30 twin gestations involving the intrauterine death of one fetus. The incidence of preterm delivery among pregnancies with fetal death was 83.3%; Caesarean section was the method of delivery in 53.3% cases. Monochorionic placentation was found in 60%. Conservative management until there is no risk for the fetus is apt.
