Abstract
Fetus papyraceus is a rare condition. We describe the intrauterine fet al death with subsequent fetus papyraceus of one twin due to blunt mat ernal trauma in the second trimester of pregnancy. Blunt maternal trau ma should raise the clinical suspicion of fetal death and dictate furt her observation; in a twin pregnancy, the possibility of a single feta l death should be investigated.
