Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Congenital Anomalies
  • Surgical Case Reports

Background:

  • Parasitic twins, a rare form of conjoined twinning, present unique diagnostic and management challenges.
  • Sacral rachipagus is a specific subtype where the parasitic twin is attached to the sacral region.

Observation:

  • A case of a vaginally delivered, large, irregular mass attached to the sacral region via a vascular pedicle was observed.
  • The mass was identified as a sacral rachipagus parasitic twin.

Findings:

  • The parasitic twin was successfully delivered vaginally.
  • Surgical excision of the parasite was performed, achieving a successful outcome.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of timely diagnosis and multidisciplinary management in complex obstetric presentations.
  • Successful surgical management of sacral rachipagus parasites offers a positive prognosis for the affected neonate.
