Multimodality 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 کاملFetal MRI of thoraco-omphalopagus conjoined twins.
Abdullah H, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-219793 Description Conjoined twins are very rare with incidence of 1 per 250 000 live births. Fetal MRI is an important adjunct to ultrasound particularly in evaluation of complex fetal anomalies and organ positions. 3 This case report illustrates our first experience in MRI fetal of conjoined twins with the current available sequences....
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 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 کاملOmphalopagus conjoined twins: ultrafast MR imaging findings.
Conjoined twins are a rare and often catastrophic obstetrical event. Although ultrasonography is widely used in the diagnosis of conjoined twins, it may fail to demonstrate the details in fetuses with complex anomalies, especially during late pregnancy. We present an omphalopagus conjoined twins case evaluated by HASTE magnetic resonance imaging, which showed the conjunction site and cranial an...
