Acardius Amorphus: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can be helpful in the Diagnosis when Ultrasound (US) is Inconclusive

An acardiac twin is rare and the diagnosis is commonly achieved from antenatal ultrasound (US) scans. However there have been cases where the appearances of the acardiac twin can be confusing and mimics a mass or tumour, for example, a teratoma. We experienced a case where the findings were unclear...
