Conjoined twins are rare and present a unique challenge to pediatric surgeons radiologists. An imaging strategy accurately define anatomic fusion, vascular anomalies, other associated abnormalities is important for surgical planning prognostic information. A conjoined female twin with combined weight of 2.8 kg was born by emergency caeserean. Hence, computed tomography scan the thorax entire abdomen at 1.25 mm slice thickness performed delineate internal structures twins. CT-angiography...
