Prenatal sonographic delineation of the complex cardiac anatomy of thoraco-omphalopagus twins

We describe a case of thoraco-omphalopagus twins diagnosed at 18 weeks' gestation. Each twin had a separate set of anatomical structures except for a shared heart, upper liver and anterior chest wall. The heart was located at the center of the juncture, and consisted of three atria and two vent...
