Abstract

Sacral parasite conjoined twins are rare form of conjoined twins. Differential diagnosis of the parasitic twin includes fetus in fetu (internal parasite) and teratoma. A 2900 g boy was born by normal vaginal delivery to a healthy young mother. At birth, the infant was found to have a large mass, attached to his sacrococcygeal region. Radiologic and histopathological examinations showed long and short bones within the sacral parasite. We present a rare case of parasitic conjoined twin attached to the sacrococcygeal region of the autosite who were evaluated by multidetector computed tomography including 3D volume rendering images.

Özet

Sakral parazitik yapışık ikiz, yapışık ikizlerin nadir bir formudur. Parazitik ikizlerin ayırıcı tanısında internal parazit (fetüs içinde fetüs) ve teratom sayılabilir. 2900 g erkek bebek vajinal yolla sağlıklı genç anneden doğdu. Doğumda olgunun sakrokoksigeal bölgesinde büyük bir kitle mevcuttu. Radyolojik ve histopatolojik tetkiklerde sakral parazit içerisinde uzun ve kısa kemikler tesbit edildi. Biz bu sunumda çok nadir görülen sakrokoksigeal bölgeye yerleşmiş parazitik yapışık ikiz vakasını multidedektör BT ve üç boyutlu volüm rendering tekniği ile gösterdik.
