Abstract :
Congenital varicella syndrome encompasses a broad spectrum of malformations present in children of mothers who developed
chickenpox during the fi rst 20 weeks of gestation. We report a case of a monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy, with maternal
exposure to chickenpox during the thirteenth week of gestation, which produced one symptomatic and one healthy child.
