📄 Report Sample Line- Fetus papyraceus
The presence of a flattened, compressed, and mummified fetal remnant adherent to the uterine wall or fetal membranes, consistent with fetus papyraceus. The demised twin appears markedly reduced in size with loss of amniotic fluid, absence of cardiac activity, and echogenic overlapping of fetal parts, suggestive of intrauterine fetal demise occurring in the second trimester. The surviving co-twin appears structurally normal and viable at the time of scan.No vascular flow is detected within the demised fetus on color Doppler imaging.


Conclussion: 📋 Findings are consistent with fetus papyraceus – a mummified, compressed fetus resulting from intrauterine fetal demise of one twin, in the second trimester. The surviving twin appears structurally normal and viable. No signs of immediate complications are observed in the co-twin at the time of scan.
Recommendation: Recommend close serial ultrasound monitoring of the surviving fetus for growth, well-being, and possible complications.Consider Doppler studies of the umbilical artery, middle cerebral artery, and ductus venosus in follow-up scans.
