Abstract

Key Clinical Message: Pena–Shokeir phenotype is a rare disorder. However, its etiology is incompletely understood. It may be familial or may be due to anoxic–ischemic etiology. Although rare, it can affect one twin in a monoamniotic pregnancy, most likely due to early cord entanglement. Abstract : Pena–Shokeir phenotype is a rare disorder.
