A case of locked twins in uterus bicornis unicollis


K. Margolis

Abstract

A case of a twin pregnancy in a uterus bicornis unicollis with a fetus in each horn presenting by the vertex, is described. Fetal distress supervened and the labour failed to progress because the head of the second twin locked between the neck and shoulder of the leading twin. Delivery, therefore, was by lower segment Caesarean section. The literature on this type of case is reviewed.
