Brain MRI of Twin A performed at 35+ 6 weeks' gestation: TSE T2 axial (A), sagittal (B) and coronal (C) images showing a mass in the hypothalamic-tuber cinereum region (red arrow), with craniocaudal development from the third ventricle to the peripontine cisterns, characterized by a signal similar to the brain parenchyma. Brain MRS performed by PRESS technique with TE = 144 ms, with a single voxel placed in the center of the lesion (D), showing a slight reduction of N-acetylaspartate (NAA) within the lesion (dotted red arrow), compared to normal parenchyma (E), with single voxel placed in the periventricular posterior white matter (dotted red arrow)
