Abstract

Conjoined twins accounts for 1% of monochorionic twins. Dicephalus Parapagus is a rare type of conjoined twins where two heads develop over a shared pelvis. Such cases are usually diagnosed on antenatal ultrasound. Here, we are reporting a difficult delivery of Dicephalic Parapagus which presented in emergency as obstructed labour. This case reinforces the importance of antenatal anomaly scan and institutional delivery.
