摘要：
Among the neural tube defects incidence of spinabifida and myelomeningocele is less in twins compared to singletons. This article reports a case of dizygotic twins with myelomeningocele, a rare occurence. Possible association of twining and neural tube defects and its impact on genetic counseling in such cases has been discussed.
