This case report presents the prenatal diagnosis of conjoined twins at 7 weeks and 6 days' gestation according to the last menstrual period and 6 weeks and 4 days' gestation according to crown-rump length in a 32-year-old Turkish woman, using two-dimensional Doppler ultrasound. The twins were fused to each other at the thoracic region (thoracopagus). In the light of previous reports of conjoined twins this appears to be one of the earliest prenatally diagnosed cases in the medical literature.
本病例报告介绍了一名32岁土耳其女性联体双胎的产前诊断情况。根据末次月经计算,妊娠为7周6天;根据头臀长度计算,妊娠为6周4天,采用二维多普勒超声进行诊断。这对双胞胎在胸部区域相连(胸部联体双胎)。根据以往联体双胎的报告,这似乎是医学文献中最早产前诊断的病例之一。
