Abstract

Conjoint twins are rare, presenting a unique challenge to radiologist and pediatric surgeons. For surgical separations, accurate preoperative imaging is necessary for operative planning prognostic information as well as important for patient counseling. There are different types of anatomical connections. MRI and CT scan give excellent anatomical and bony details like organ position, shared organs and vascular anatomy. We present a pictorial essay on a previously unreported variation of pygopagus twins.
