    Summary

    This study presents a rare case of lateral cephalothoracopagus conjoined twins with posterior auricles. This unique presentation may represent an intermediate juncture pattern between janiceps and lateral cephalothoracopagus.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Science
    • Developmental Biology
    • Teratology

    Background:

    • Conjoined twins are rare congenital anomalies with varying degrees of anatomical fusion.
    • Lateral cephalothoracopagus, characterized by fusion at the lateral aspects of the thorax and head, is a documented subtype.
    • Previous literature lacks cases exhibiting both lateral facial juncture and posterior auricles.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of lateral cephalothoracopagus conjoined twins is described.
    • The twins presented with unequivocal lateral juncture of the faces.
    • Posterior auricles were a distinct feature in this specific case.

    Findings:

    • This case is the first reported instance of lateral cephalothoracopagus with both lateral facial juncture and posterior auricles.
    • The observed features suggest a potential intermediate juncture pattern.
    • The findings contribute to understanding the spectrum of conjoined twin presentations.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the known phenotypic variability of conjoined twins.
    • It may necessitate a re-evaluation of classification systems for cephalothoracopagus twins.
    • Further research into the embryological basis of such specific junctures is warranted.
