We report a twin pregnancy with a selective feticide of the first foetus with a Niemann Pick disease type C and a delayed interval delivery. The presented case confirmed that a delayed interval delivery is possible and successful. However, a close monitoring of the mother and the retained child after the birth of the first child is essential. A delayed delivery seems to be save for the mother, but the success for the neonatal outcome cannot be predicted.
