초록

저자들은 본원에서 제왕절개술에 의해 태어난 후 약 3시간만에 사망한 dicephalus type의 conjoined twins를 1례 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Conjoined twinning is a rare congenital malformation, accounting for 1% of monozygotic twins. Conjoined twins result if twining is initiated after the embryonic disc and rudimentary amnionic sac have been formed and if division of the embryonic disc is incomplete. Recently we experienced a case of conjoined twins, dicephalus dipus dibrachius, who had died at 3 hours of life, and performed autopsy. Autopsy revealed a total duplication of the heads, spines up to sacrum, small bowels, thymus and lungs. Two hearts existed within a common pericardium.
