Abstract
Conjoined twins are a rare and intriguing nature's phenomena; diprosopus or craniofacial duplication is the rarest with a reported incidence of 1 case in 180,000-15 million births. We present a radiologic, autoptic, and histologic study of a 37-week-old male diprosopus twin in a dichorionic pregnancy of a 26-old-year woman. Diprosopus malformation is part of duplication involving face and cranium like janiceps and dicephalus. Our case also shows partial duplicationof the stomach with ectopic pancreas. Most studies are required to understand that. Conjoined (siamese) twins represent a rare situation which may occur in 1 of every 50,000 births. A prenatal diagnosis usually leads to stopping pregnancy. Diprosopus or craniofacial duplication is the rarest with a reported incidence of 1 case in 180,000-15 million births.Most studies are required to understand thatFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
