ABSTRACT
Conjoined twins are rare congenital malformation that occurs one in 50,000-100,000 births. The site and fusion are variable. In recent years, prenatal diagnosis of conjoined twins with ultrasonogram (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been reported. Early prenatal diagnosis and assessment of the degree of conjoining provided couples with the option for pregnancy termination via vaginal delivery. We report a case of cephalopagus diagnosed prenatally by ultrasonogram in the second trimester and subsequently which was terminated, with a brief review of literature.
