Abstract
We report the prenatal imaging findings of a rare case of cephalothoracopagus janiceps disymmetros diagnosed at 28 weeks' gestation. Two-dimensional ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated janiceps conjoined female twins with a single fused cranial vault, duplicated cerebra, two faces, four eyeballs, a fused thorax, two hearts, two thoracic spines, eight limbs and polyhydramnios. Three-dimensional and power Doppler ultrasound established the definitive classification of cephalothoracopagus conjoined twins and displayed the shared circulation between the two separate hearts.
