Abstract EN
Objective.
Conjoined twin is a rarely seen congenital anomaly together with severe mortality and morbidity.
The more common types of conjoined twins include the thoracopagus type, where the fusion is anterior, at the chest, and involves the heart.
We are reporting one case of conjoined thoracopagus twins diagnosed by ultrasonography at 11 weeks.
Case Report.
In a multigravid pregnant woman who has been admitted to our clinic with a diagnosis of conjoined twins, thoracopagus, by ultrasonography at an 11-week gestation, termination of the pregnancy was performed.
Conclusion.
Making an early diagnosis with ultrasonographic examination gives the parents a chance to elect pregnancy termination.
