Conjoined twins are rare, and most cases are thoracopagus. Parapagus conjoined twins (one body with two heads) are extremely rare. We report a case of dicephalic parapagus twins that was diagnosed in the first trimester at 10 weeks via transvaginal ultrasonography.

โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
A case of conjoined twins after frozen embryo transfer at early blastocyst stage is described. The diagnosis was made early at 7 weeks by vaginal sonography and later confirmed by spatiotemporal image correlation with power Doppler. The value of spatiotemporal image correlation with Doppler in facilitating an early diagnosis of conjoined twinning is discussed. ยฉ 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2011;
