Veterinary Record, 2005
REPORTS of conjoined or identical twins have been found exclusively in cattle (Arthur 1956). To the authors’ knowledge, identical twins have not yet been recorded in sheep, pigs, dogs or cats. This short communication describes a rare case of conjoined twins in newborn piglets in which the component parts were diplopagus (equal and symmetrical ...

ABSTRACTPreparing for surgical separation of conjoined twins involves coordination, communication, and multidisciplinary planning by several specialties. This article discusses the embryology, etiology, and incidence of conjoined twins and provides a historical perspective of the different types of conjoined twins.

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1990
A case of thoracopagus conjoined twins encountered in the second stage of labor is presented. Delivery was possible by the vaginal route after reducing the fetal bulk by destructive operations. Problems in obstetric management of these cases are discussed and the importance of proper antenatal evaluation is stressed.

Pediatric Radiology, 2006
The incidence of conjoined twins is estimated to be around 1 in 250,000 live births. There is a distinct female predominance. In this paper the imaging of conjoined twins both antenatally and postnatally is reviewed, in particular taking into consideration recent advances with multidetector CT.

Teratology, 1971
AbstractFour partially duplicated newborn rabbits were observed in 252 births in the inbred strain Y at The Jackson Laboratory within a 12‐month period. Two of these were full sibs and a third was a half sib of these two sets. This frequency is significant and highly suggestive of genetic transmission.

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1978
Abstract. A small “epidemic” of conjoined twinning is reported occurring at the Skövde Central hospital in 1975–76. Three pairs were observed, the annual birth number is 2300. During a ten‐year period, 10 cases of conjoined twinning were reported to the Register of Congenital Malformations in Sweden, indicating a probable incidence of 1: 75 000 births.

Pediatric Surgery International, 1997
Despite recent advances in diagnosis, particularly organ-imaging, and therapeutic options, the management of conjoined twins is still very challenging. We report conjoined twins attached ()end-on" at the lumbo-sacral level and describe the anatomical findings, methods of investigation, and management.

The incidence of conjoined twins is rare, occurring in one in 50–80000 live births. The rarity of the occurrence presents quite a management challenge. The first case in New Zealand of successfully separated thoraco‐omphalagus twins, presenting top‐to‐tail, is described.

The birth of live conjoined twins in a community can draw considerable attention to the appropriate ethical issues.The management requires the skills of a multi-disciplinary team of clinicians who have seldom faced the challenge. The team leader must draw together principles of a medical, social, cultural, religious and legal nature in reaching the ...

Sacral Parasite Conjoined Twin
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2001A variant of conjoined twins is one in which one twin is incomplete.A female infant was born vaginally at 40 weeks' gestation to a healthy primipara. No important abnormalities were noted during prenatal examinations. The infant was fully developed in all external aspects except for a parasitic body conjoined with her sacrococcygeal region.
