Thoraco-Omphalopagus Conjoined Twins: A Case Report

Abstract

A conjoined twin is an uncommon congenital condition that has a very high morbidity and mortality prevalence. Identical twins united in utero are known as conjoined twins. It's an uncommon occurrence that poses a special difficulty for paediatric surgeons and obstetricians. Conjoined twins are a complicated byproduct of monozygotic twinning, which raises the risk of death in the womb. One of the more prevalent varieties of conjoined twins is the thoraco-omphalopagus type, in which the heart is involved in an anterior, chest-based fusion. This case involves a 26-year-old woman who was diagnosed at 19 weeks with conjoined thoraco-omphalopagus twins using ultrasonography.
