    • Medical imaging
    • Maternal-fetal medicine
    • Congenital anomalies

    Background:

    • Conjoined twins are rare congenital anomalies.
    • Thoracopagus twins are the most common form, joined at the chest.
    • Antenatal diagnosis is critical for planning management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a case of thoracopagus conjoined twins.
    • To emphasize the role of ultrasonography in antenatal diagnosis.
    • To illustrate how early diagnosis facilitates management decisions.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report.
    • Detailed description of ultrasonography findings.
