Conjoined twins are a rare phenomenon, occurring in 1% of monochorionic twin gestation, with an incidence of 1 : 50 000 to 1 : 100 000. Many conjoined twins have abnormalities incompatible with life, so early prenatal diagnosis is very important for optimal management of both pregnancy and delivery. We report a case of dicephalus parapagus conjoined twins, sharing a single heart, diagnosed at 12 weeks’ gestation. With early ultrasound diagnosis, we were able to provide appropriate and timely prenatal counseling to the family.

AbstractWe assess the prognostic values of zygosity and chorionicity in triplet pregnancies (TP) with the assistance of microsatellites analysis. 53 consecutive TP whose prenatal care and delivery occurred in our maternity hospital were included in this prospective study. Zygosity of all sets of triplets (alive or stillbirth, after 22 weeks of gestation) was determined by PCR-amplified microsatellites markers analysis. Chorionicity was determined by placental analysis in our fetopathology referral department and validated by molecular analysis of zygosity. Placental conformations, obstetrical and neonatal outcomes of TP were studied according to their zygosity and chorionicity. Monozygotic and to a greater extent, dizygotic TP were associated with an increase in placental ischemic injuries, velamentous cord insertions, twin-twin transfusion syndromes, fetal anomalies, and perinatal mortality when compared with the trizygotic TP (p<0.05). Monochorionic and more significantly, dichorionic TP presented with the same increases as trichorionic TP (p<0.05). Thus chorionicity easily determined by ultrasound evaluation during the first trimester of the pregnancy must remain the main prognosis criterion in TP. Taking into account the rare indications of prenatal diagnosis of zygosity, it became apparent that chorionicity has a greater impact than zygosity when distinguishing high-risk groups of TP.
