Abstract

Background: Fetus in fetu is a rare malformation in which a parasitic twin is within a more mature twin. Most of the fetus in fetu are located in the retroperitoneum and are acardiac and anencephalic. Case report: Oropharyngeal fetus in fetu, referral from Rustenburg hospital with suspected gastroschisis, preeclampsia, preterm labour at 28 weeks gestation. Conclusion: Prenatal ultrasound remains the cornerstone of diagnosis of fetus in fetu in providing essential information for management and parental guidance.
