The authors present gastroschisis which occurred in a surviving fetus after the co-twin demise in a monochorionic pregnancy. They analyze the problems of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of gastroschisis stressing the adequate planning of delivery with necessary additional diagnostic and therapeutic efforts.
