Thoraco-omphalopagus conjoined twins diagnosed at 14 weeks of gestation

Abstract

Conjoined twins are very rare and the mortality rate of the fetus is extremely high. Early prenatal diagnosis is crucial, as it provides the opportunity for the mother and father to help in recognizing the conjunction of the twins and to help medical team in defining the prognosis of conjoined twins. We present a case of thoraco-omphalopagus conjoined twins diagnosed by two-dimensional and threedimensional transabdominal sonography at 14 +2 weeks of gestation. We present a case of dicephalic thoraco-omphalopagus twins diagnosed in the early second trimester with transabdominal 2D sonography and 3D sonography.
