Fetus‐in‐fetu is a rare form of monozygotic diamniotic twin pregnancy in which one fetus is enclosed within its twin (Khadaroo et al. , 2000). This case report highlights the use of prenatal MRI to confirm prenatal diagnosis of an intra‐abdominal FIF to aid obstetricians, neonatologists, and pediatric general surgeons in perinatal and surgical management.
