Dicephalus Parapagus Conjoined Twins Diagnosed by First‐Trimester Ultrasound

Case Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Conjoined twins are a rare phenomenon, occurring in 1% of monochorionic twin gestation, with an incidence of 1 : 50 000 to 1 : 100 000. Many conjoined twins have abnormalities incompatible with life, so early prenatal diagnosis is very important for optimal management of both pregnancy and delivery.
