متن کاملThoraco-omphalopagus Conjoint Twin: A Case Report and Literature Review
Conjoined twins are a rare phenomenon of a monochorionic monoamniotic twin. The incidence varies from 1 in 50000 to 1 in 100000 live births [1,2]. Female foetuses are more commonly affected with the ratio of male to female being 1:3, particularly in thoracopagus type [3]. Five types of conjoint twins are classically described, Thoracopagus, Omphalopagus, Pygopagus, Ischiopagus and Craniopagus. ...
متن کاملMultimodality Imaging in the Assessment of Thoraco-Omphalopagus Conjoined Twin: Lessons to Learn
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. A conjoined female twin with a combined weight of 2.8 kg was born by emergency caeserean. Hence, a computed tomography scan o...
متن کاملSuccessful Surgical Separation of Thoraco-Omphalopagus Symmetrical Conjoined Twins in Iran: Two Case Reports
Conjoined twins are derived from the division of a single fertilized ovum; a phenomenon accompanied with multiple congenital anomalies. Such twins are identical, of the same sex, and more likely to be female. Most twins die during the embryonic period, and only 18% survive longer than 24 hours. There are complex anomalies in thoraco-omphalopagus twins that makes them unlikely to live long enoug...
متن کاملEarly prenatal diagnosis of thoraco-omphalopagus twins at ten weeks of gestation by ultrasound
Early prenatal diagnosis of conjoined twins, an extreme form of monozygotic twinning, is very important for the further management and counselling of parents because they are associated with high perinatal mortality. We present a case of thoraco-omphalopagus twins diagnosed at ten weeks and four days of gestation by two-dimensional Doppler ultrasound, which was then terminated.
