It is quite common for a blighted fetus to be retained and expelled at term with a living child, its twin.
Bacon speaks of twin pregnancy, with the death of one fetus at the fourth month and the other delivered at term.

Beall reports the conception of twins, with one fetus expelled and the other retained; Beauchamp cites a similar instance.

Bothwell describes a twin labor at term, in which one child was living and the other dead at the fifth month and macerated.

Belt reports an analogous case.

Jameson gives the history of an extraordinary case of twins in which one (dead) child was retained in the womb for forty-nine weeks, the other having been born alive at the expiration of nine months.
