dicephalic parapagus tribrachius conjoined twin is a very rare condition. we present a case of 5-days-old male dicephalic parapagus conjoined twins. the conjoined twins were diagnosed in 4(th) month of pregnancy by ultrasonography. the pregnancy terminates at 36 weeks by cesarean section and triplets were born. the babies were male conjoined twins and another healthy male baby. many congenital ...

sheep conjoined twins have been reported less than cow. an apparently female conjoined twin lambs was examined based on external and internal features. in radiology, two vertebral columns and two pairs of the ribs were seen. only two heads and two necks were separated (thoraco-omphalopygopagus). there were three forelimbs (tribrachius), one of which grew on dorsal region as a notomelus.  teat b...

conjoined twins, was a known type of birth in antiquity. it was mentioned in manuscripts and depicted in terracotta figurines and vase paintings. such findings were discovered in a variety of territories. religion, local cult, and simple iconography of a known phenomenon create a debate among scholars to annotate their discovery. gods and goddesses, magic figurines, sacred marriage, a binary hy...

This paper presents a history of the treatment of conjoined twins. The first mention of this malformation comes from the Neolithic period.

Case reports of conjoined twins ("Siamese twins") in wild mammals are scarce. Most published reports of conjoined twins in mammals concern cases in man and domestic mammals. This article describes a case of cephalopagus conjoined twins in a leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) collected on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, in the period 1873-76. A review of known cases of conjoined twinning i...

Ch?ng (Chang) and ?n (Eng) Bunker were conjoined twins [2] in the nineteenth century in the United States, the first pair of conjoined twins [2] whose condition was well documented in medical records. Conjoined twins are a rare condition in which two infants are born physically connected to each other.

Conjoined twins are an extremely rare congenital malformation without any known genetic predisposition. Omphalopagus twins are the second most common variety of conjoined twins and usually are joined at the umbilicus. We present omphalopagus conjoined twins demonstrated with true FISP (fast imaging with steady-state procession) and HASTE (half- Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo) m...

Introduction Conjoined twins are identical twins with fused bodies, joined in utero. They are rare complications of monochorionic twinning. The purpose of this study is to describe the various types of conjoined twins, the role of imaging and recent advances aiding in their management. Material and methods This was a twin institutional study involving 3 cases of conjoined twins diagnosed over...
