Conjoined twinning is a very rare occurrence with no genetic predisposition. Twisting of conjoined twins around the axis of their connecting tissue bridge, close to the third trimester, has not been previously reported. We describe a unique case of in utero twisting of conjoined omphalopagus twins who survived without any adverse effects. Fetal US and fetal MRI played a vital role in the diagnosis and perinatal management of these twins.
联体双胎是一种非常罕见的情况,没有遗传倾向。在妊娠晚期,连接组织桥附近的联体双胎围绕其轴扭转以前没有报道过。我们描述了一例独特的联体脐胎双胎在宫内扭转的病例,这些双胞胎没有任何不良影响而存活下来。胎儿超声和胎儿 MRI 在这些双胞胎的诊断和围产期管理中发挥了重要作用。
