Abstract:
A pair of omphalopagous conjoined twins is presented. The girls were delivered by cesarean section, weighing together 4.330 g; Plain X-ray demonstrates separated GI tract. Hepatic scintigraphy delineated both livers, but not a common liver mass, which was found at operation. Following adequate preparation, surgical procedure was performed at the 11th day. This is the second case reported in the Spanish literature with survival of both twins.
