1. Prenatal diagnosis & imaging
Conjoined twins are often detected during pregnancy using ultrasound and other imaging tests. Doctors study:
  • Where the twins are joined (chest, abdomen, head, etc.).
  • Which organs are shared and which are separate.
  • How the hearts and other vital organs are functioning.
This information helps families and doctors plan a safe delivery and future care.
This page is for learning only. It does not replace medical advice and does not describe how to do surgery. Any real decisions about conjoined twins must be made with experienced medical teams.
