I will introduce a modified version of the conjoinedtwins case and walk the reader through four possible judgments one may make concerning both versions.
I believe it is plausible to see the conjoinedtwins as sharing a single body.
If the cell division of the twins was late, just before conjoinedtwins would occur, a single yolk sac would be apparent on the sonogram.
Malformations in conjoinedtwins can be primary, involving non-conjoined organs, or secondary when they affect the conjoined structures.
Many people would find it less objectionable to separate younger conjoinedtwins than to separate older conjoinedtwins.
Whether the conjoinedtwins share one may ultimately be a matter of judgment, but if they do not, who does?
Conjoinedtwins, right atrial isomerism, and sequential segmental analysis.
Separation of thoraco-omphalopagus conjoinedtwins.
Among this small group, cephalic conjoining, or craniopagus twinning, represents the rarest of congenital abnormalities only accounting for 2-6% of all conjoinedtwins.
