Abstract
Fetus in fetu is a rare abnormality secondary to the abnormal embryogenesis
in a diamniotic, monochorionic pregnancy. It is an unusual condition in wh
ich a vertebrate fetus is enclosed within the abdomen of a normally develop
ing fetus. Presented are the computed tomographic findings in two cases in
which imaging findings were diagnostic of this entity.
