Twin pregnancy is associated with increased perinatal mortality and morbidity compared with singleton pregnancy. A serious complication in a twin pregnancy is the intrauterine fetal demise of one fetus; this situation involves a larger risk of morbidity and mortality for the surviving fetus and the pregnant woman. Based in the best available evidence we suggest a management guideline to optimize the outcomes of the surviving twin and the pregnant women.
