Abstract
We report successful selective feticide of an anomalous, comprising twin by using intracardiac potassium chloride injection at 26 weeks gestation. This was associated with later delivery and survival of a very low birth weight infant with normal neurodevelopmental follow-up at 2 years. We suggest that selective feticide in such cases may have an important role to play in management.
