Never heard of this before, way to weird.
Newindpress.com
KOLKATA: In a rare occurrence, a young mother here has given birth to what is medically termed as the 'vanishing twin', a freak delivery in which one of the twins appears to be painted on a translucent leaf-like sheath.
The rare medical wonder, not yet reported in India, was witnessed by medicos last Friday when 24-year-old Amita Dutta delivered twin babies - one healthy boy and another 'flat' lifeless form that looked more like a fossilised baby.

I think this site lays it out quite clearly. I know of a case in the US but it wasn't as extreme, but the one twin didn't survive and was totally
underdeveloped.

"Definition: Twin to twin transfusion syndrome is a congenital entity unique to monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies, characterized by an imbalanced blood exchange between the twins circulation, which occur through interplacental anastomosis, and may cause fetal compromise varying from growth discordance to death of both fetuses. The first description was made by Schatz in late 1800s[1]."
