Abstract

Conjoined twins occurring in a triplet pregnancy is a rare occurrence. We present a case of undiagnosed dicephalic conjoined twins occurring in a multigravida with triple pregnancy delivered by caesarian section. The anatomical and pathologic findings in these twins after their demise are described with a brief review of the literature.
