Conjoined Thoracopagus Siames Twins : A Case Report from the Casablanca University Hospital

Abstract

Conjoined twins are a particularly rare condition, requiring perfect understanding of their anatomy and multidisciplinary intervention to free them from their attachments. Thoracopagus twins are connected by the chest and umbilicus and are the most common of all variants, but have a low survival rate. We report the case of a 18-year-old female patient, pregnant at 12 weeks amenorrhoea, who consulted in the maternity emergency department with a clinical picture of a miscarriage in the process of expulsion of a conjoined thoracopagus siames twins.
