Australas Med J. 2011;4(4):145-7. doi: 10.4066/AMJ.2011.628. Epub 2011 Apr 30.

Abstract

A case of abdomino-thoracopagus twins with a single heart is described. The male twins were delivered in the 15th week of gestation following the parents' request to terminate the pregnancy. This case is of particular interest because of the rarity of the abdominothoracopagus twins with a single heart, in the literature.

Keywords: Conjoined twins; abdomino-thoracopagus; single heart.
