Summary:Conjoined twins have been the subject of myth and legend since antiquity because of the rarity and peculiarity of their juxtaposition.

Antenatal sonography allows timely detection of this condition so that further management may be planned. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2013
