“…The latter comprises a small portion of all reported heteropagus twins because a defective heart of the autosite is unable to support the viability of both foetuses. [410] Albeit by the definition, thoracopagus parasiticus must involve abnormal heart (duplication of cardiac primordium in symmetrical twins), some authors have reported heteropagus parasiticus without heart involvement in the autosite and classified this as thoracopagus according to the site of attachment only. [1112] Other authors have classified cases of asymmetric doubling as epigastric heteropagus when the parasite was connected at the chest wall because of giant omphalocele.…”

Heteropagus twins are an extremely rare event with an incidence of 1–2 million live births that represents, sometimes, a real challenge for paediatric surgeons. The majority of cases have complete or partial duplication of the pelvis and/or lower extremities. Thoracic heteropagus conjoined twins is a rare condition in which a grossly defective foetus (the parasite) is attached to the thorax of the main foetus (the autosite). We describe a case of a parasitic heteropagus attached at the chest wall with a rare presentation of giant exomphalos on the autosite. In this situation, the separation procedure was simple after a well-done anatomic study using X-ray, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance and echocardiogram are performed.

“…In asymmetrical twin sets, the most common presentation is omphalopagus joined at either hypogastric or suprapubic region, whereas epigastric attachment is sparse. [4]…”

“…1946-2013 yılları arasında omfaloselin eşlik ettiği epigastrik heterofagus ikiz ise sadece 20 olgu olarak bildirilmiştir (3.9.10) . Yapışık ikiz, duplikasyon anomalisinin bir formu olarak düşünülebilir, ancak kabul edilen teori gestasyonun 2. haftasında tek zigotun tam olarak ayrılamaması olmasına rağmen etiyopatogenezi hala gizemini korumaktadır (9) . Omfaloselin eşlik ettiği olgularda etiyopatogenez daha karışıktır.…”

Yapışık ikizler simetrik ve asimetrik olarak sınıflandırılır. Asimetrik form olanı heterofagus olarak bilinir. Heterofagus ikiz nadir görülen bir durumdur. İkizlerden birinde şiddetli defekt vardır ve parazitik ikiz olarak tanımlanır. İzole olgu sunumları bu nadir görülen konjenital anomalilerle ilgili yayınlanmış çalışmaların çoğunu oluşturur. İngilizce literatürde bir kaç olgu bildirilmiştir. Biz burada başarılı bir şekilde ayırdığımız omfoloseli olan epigastrik heterofagus ikiz olgusunu sunmayı amaçladık. Heterofagus ikiz çok nadir görülen anomalilerdir. Kullanılan tanı metodları cerrahı yaklaşımımızı belirler ve yapışık ikizleri tam olarak ayırmamıza izin verir.

“…12 La angiotomografía computadorizada por lo general permite delinear la anatomía vascular entre ambos fetos, a pesar de que la descripción del pedículo vascular del gemelo heterópago no siempre se reporta. 12,22 En este caso la tomografía computadorizada con reconstrucción ósea y vascular permitió conocer la relación del gemelo parásito con los órganos pélvicos del autosite y la identificación del origen y trayecto del pedículo vascular del parásito, lo que favoreció la sobrevida y expectativa de vida normal en el paciente, portador de una entidad clínica con una mortalidad reportada hasta en el 31% de los casos. 12 La ecocardiografía debe solicitarse a los toracópagos y onfalópagos, quienes presentan anormalidades cardiacas en el autosite entre 25 y 39%.…”

Los gemelos parásitos o heterópagos son aquellos unidos asimétricos con partes deformes del parásito que se unen en diferentes regiones del gemelo normal (autosite), del cual depende para su soporte nutricional y crecimiento. Presentamos el caso de un gemelo heterópago con las extremidades inferiores y rudimentos de las superiores del parásito unidas al periné y glúteo derecho del autosite. Aunque no compartían órganos pélvicos, la compresión extrínseca de estructuras óseas del parásito causaron estenosis del recto, lo que obligó a la corrección quirúrgica. Los estudios por imágenes permitieron planificar la cirugía, lo cual facilitó la separación exitosa y lograr la sobrevida del paciente con muy buena calidad de vida. A pesar de ser reportados desde épocas ancestrales, aún generan gran interés debido a la variabilidad en su presentación clínica y al desconocimiento en su etiopatogénesis.
