Abstract

Thoracopagus is very rare congenital anomaly with an incidence estimated at 1 in 50,000 deliveries or 1 in 600 twin deliveries. If twining is initiated after the embryonic disc and the rudimentary amnionic sac have been formed, and if division of the embryonic disc is incomplete, conjoined twins result. We experienced a case of thoracopagus in 28 years old woman. We present this case with a brief review of literatures.

Key Words: Conjoined twin, Thoracopagus
