Introduction: Acardiac twin refers to a monochorionic pregnancy in which there is a twin with absent or nonfunctioning heart and a normal co-twin. This was a very rare disorder of monozygotic twin pregnancy. The aim of this report was to introduce a case of acardiac acephalus twin pregnancy. Case Presentation: A 32- year- old woman (G3 P2 L2) referred to the hospital because of a decrease in fetal movement at 32 weeks of gestation. Ultrasonography showed a dead fetus. Her earlier sonography showed the possibility of acardiac twin pregnancy, but she did not have any appropriate or special prenatal care for this problem. After delivery, there was a normal dead fetus without any gross abnormality and another acardiac fetus. Conclusions: Early diagnosis of acardiac twin pregnancy and appropriate prenatal care are of prime importance for appropriate intervention and best fetal outcomes.
