Abstract

In this report, we describe the case of a woman with a prenatal diagnosis of parapagus dicephalus dibrachus dipus conjoined twins at 14-15 weeks of gestation via two-dimensional ultrasonography. The parents elected to terminate the pregnancy and the patient delivered a 15-cm 130-g male fetus. There were two heads and necks which appeared grossly normal. The thoracic and abdominal cavities were shared. The fetus had four normal limbs. On internal examination, there were two separate structurally normal hearts. There were two larynges and four lungs. Two esophagi fused to enter a single stomach. The diaphragm was common and separated a single abdominal cavity. Distally, the alimentary system including the liver and gallbladder was single.

Özet

Bu vaka sunumunda 14- 15. gebelik haftasında ultrasonografi aracılığıyla tanı konulan parapagus dicephalus dibrachus dipus yapışık ikiz olgusu tanımlanmaktadır. Ebeveynler gebeliğin sonlandırılmasını tercih etmişler ve hasta 15-cm boyunda 130-g ağırlığında erkek fetüs doğurmuştur. Dıştan görünümü normal, iki baş ve boyuna sahip fetüsün göğüs ve karın boşlukları ortaktır. Fetus dört adet normal ekstremiteye sahiptir. Otopsi incelemesinde fetüsün yapısal olarak normal iki ayrı kalbe, iki larenkse ve dört akciğere sahip olduğu görülmüştür. İki özofagusun distalde tek bir mideye girdiği görülmektedir. Diyafram ortak olup, tek karın boşluğunu göğüs boşluğundan ayırmaktadır. Fetüsün bir adet karaciğer ve safra kesesini de içeren tek gastrointestinal sisteme sahip olduğu görülmektedir.
