Conjoined twining is a rare medical phenomenon, with an overall prevalence of 1.47 per 100000 births. This report describes a successful separation of xypho-omphalopa- gus conjoined twins complicated by unbalanced blood shunting through the porto- systemic anastomoses within the shared liver parenchyma. Significant extrauterine twin- twin transfusion syndrome caused by unbalanced shunt- ing is an extremely rare, and probably under- recognized, hemodynamic complication in conjoined twins necessi- tating urgent separation. Progressive deterioration with a poor outcome can be prevented if the condition is recog- nized in a timely manner. |
