Overview
About the event
Conjoined fetuses are a rare type of identical twins that share a placenta and an amniotic sac,?�when the embryo divides at 13-15 days from conception. The incidence ranges from 1/50,000-1/100,000 live births. Female fetuses are more commonly affected, as the ratio of female to male is 3:1.
No association with maternal age, race, parity, or heredity has been observed, and the recurrence risk is negligible.
