This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, is a developmental deformation characterized with multiple joint contructures that is seen in one delivery out of 3000 in average.The limitation of fetal movements which start in early pregnancy weeks especially at the 7th or 8th gestastional week, is the most important factor in etiology.That deformation, causes fetal morbidity, mortality and economic burden in postnatal period.In this case, an arthrogryposis in one identical twin, which was diagnosed during a routine 2 nd trimester 2D ultrasound examination in which the pregnancy was terminated because of the misdiagnosis with twin-to twin transfusion syndrome, was reported.
