“…The fi rst twin shown here also had a fairly well-formed head with a brain and a bilateral cleft palate. One of monochorionic quintuplets with fi ve amnions was an acardiac fetus (Hamblen et al 1937 ) (Fig. 25.90 ), and we described triplets with one acardiac in the previous edition of this book; and many other triplets, one being an acardiac, are recorded in the literature (e.g., Sanjaghsaz et al 1998 ).…”

“…G. Altshuler (1975, personal communication) also observed a QuiQui placenta that, when injected with milk, exhibited no anastomoses. Finally, the monochorionic quintuplets (QuiMo) with one acardiac fetus reported by Hamblen et al ( 1937 ) are shown in Fig. 25.90 .…”

“…The babies were not expected to live, due to their early delivery and very low birth weight, but all five of them did. They remain famous for being the first set of quintuplets in which all members survived, and the 34th set on record since 1694 (Foster & Carson, 1923;Hamblen et al, 1937). Coming as they did during financially depressed times, they brought hope and joy to the people of their town and to those who lived elsewhere.…”

This article explores some rare sides of twin research. The focus of this article is the sad plight of the Dionne quintuplets, born in Canada in 1934. However, several other studies belong in this category, such as Dr Josef Mengele’s horrifying twin research conducted at the Auschwitz concentration camp, Dr John Money’s misguided attempt to turn an accidentally castrated male twin into a female, Russian scientists’ cruel medical study of conjoined female twins and Dr Peter Neubauer’s secret project that tracked the development of separated twins. Reviews of current twin research span twins’ representation of self-image, twins with Kleine–Levin Syndrome, heteropaternal twinning in lemurs and factors affecting risk of dental caries. Media coverage includes a pair of high-society models, a book about the ‘Winkelevii’ twins, Super Bowl twin teammates, a family with three sets of fraternal twins, a twin sister surrogate and a near presidential twin.

The literature on acardiac monsters has been reviewed. The following conclusions were drawn: 1. The probability of their appearance seems considerably higher among monoamniotic than diamniotic monochorionic twin pairs. 2. They seem more likely to occur within monozygotic (MZ) pairs in higher multiple births than in MZ twins. 3. The data are consistent with the suggestion that there is a slight female excess among them.
