Late miscarriage is a well-known complication in multiple pregnancies. Two cases were presented with rupture of the membranes and prolapse of the cord with the death of the presenting fetus are reported. In both cases extraction of the presenting fetus was carried out at 21 weeks of pregnancy followed by cervical cerclage. A triplet pregnancy which was reduced to two fetuses reached 30 weeks and two healthy infants were delivered. A twin pregnancy which was reduced to one fetus, resulted in that one being lost two weeks later when the patient developed chorioamnionitis and septicaemia.
