The Medical School of Padua (Italy) contributed profoundly to the study of teratology. Many famous physicians and professors of medicine, such as Liceti, Vallisneri, Morgagni, and Malacarne, have studied and investigated these anomalies to better understand the causes and to find a potential explanation, often preserving the specimens for future studies. The present study highlights some historical cases of conjoined twins and a conjoined triplet preserved at the Morgagni Museum of Human Anatomy to show the development of medical theories in the teratological field between the 18th and early 19th century. This approach will provide insights into different study methods and ideas of some of the most famous scholars working in Padua at that time. The current article focuses on rare cases, both human and animal, that were encountered by physicians who worked in the Veneto area in the late 18th and early 19th century. Their detailed descriptions are not only of historical but also of contemporary dysmorphological value.
意大利帕多瓦医学院在畸形学研究方面做出了重要贡献。许多著名的医生和医学教授，如利切蒂、瓦利塞内里、莫尔加尼和马拉卡内，都对这些异常进行了研究和调查，以更好地了解其原因，并寻找潜在的解释，他们经常保存标本以备将来研究。本研究重点介绍了保存在莫尔加尼人体解剖博物馆的一些历史上的联体双胞胎和三胞胎案例，以展示 18 世纪至 19 世纪初畸形学领域医学理论的发展。这种方法将深入了解当时在帕多瓦工作的一些最著名学者的不同研究方法和思路。本文主要关注的是 18 世纪末至 19 世纪初，在威尼托地区工作的医生所遇到的罕见的人类和动物病例。他们的详细描述不仅具有历史价值，而且具有当代畸形学价值。
