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.

Decreased Brain and Placental Perfusion in Omphalopagus Conjoined Twins on Fetal MRI

Radiology Research and Practice, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
The aim of this study is to evaluate perfusional changes in brain and placenta of omphalopagus conjoined twins and to compare them with singleton fetuses by using diffusion weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient. Fetal MRIs of 28‐week‐old omphalopagus conjoined twins with a shared liver with two separate gallbladders and portal and hepatic

Prenatal Diagnosis and Postnatal Findings of Cephalothoracopagus Janiceps Disymmetros: A Case Report

Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Conjoined twins are rare variants of monozygotic twins, which result from an incomplete division of the embryonic disk. Cephalothoracopagus is a rare twin pregnancy described as imperfect fusion of the head and chest, but separated columns, limbs, and pelvis. They occur with incidence rates that range from 1 per 50,000 to 1 per 100,000 births; however,

Multimodality Imaging in the Assessment of Thoraco‐Omphalopagus Conjoined Twin: Lessons to Learn

Case Reports in Radiology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Conjoined twins are rare and present a unique challenge to pediatric surgeons and radiologists. An imaging strategy to accurately define anatomic fusion, vascular anomalies, and other associated abnormalities is important for surgical planning and prognostic information.

Thoracopagus Conjoined Twins: A Case Report

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
Objective. Conjoined twin is a rarely seen congenital anomaly together with severe mortality and morbidity. The more common types of conjoined twins include the thoracopagus type, where the fusion is anterior, at the chest, and involves the heart. We are reporting one case of conjoined thoracopagus twins diagnosed by ultrasonography at 11 weeks.
