The conjoined twins seems preferable to such as craniopagus, thoracopagus, ischiopagus and pyopagus. Because of their associated anomalies, particularly of cardiovascular system, and difficulties in delivery, they usually survive only short postnatal period. Successful surgical separation and long term survival would have been achieved in a small numbers...
