Abstract
A case of thoracopagus conjoined stillborn twins studied with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is presented. Due to the parents' denial of authorization for an autopsy of the fetuses, the MRI study was performed as an alternative to necropsy. Highβresolution images of the fetuses demonstrated relevant anatomic features, providing noninvasive pathological insight with preservation of the fetal specimen. J. Magn. Reson.

Conjoined twinning is a rare obstetric event that has fascinated physicians and laypersons alike for centuries. When this event occurs, early diagnosis, close prenatal management, and the proper route of delivery will assure the best possible outcome for mother and affected infants. Magnetic resonan
