Abstract

This is a case report of newly born twins. The live twins were with two separate heads and a symmetrical body, conjoined in a sagittal plane. Their thorax and abdomen were broader then singleton normal. Spines were separate in cervical regions but gradually approached each other and completely fused at sacrum. Single perineum had an imperforate anus.
