Article Abstract
Medical imaging plays a crucial role in the management of conjoined twins. The role of imaging is to explore the anatomy, outline the shared organs and determine whether surgery is feasible. It also serves as a roadmap for successful separation. Additionally, imaging helps with counseling parents about prognosis. This review aims to illustrate recent advances in different imaging modalities and their role in the management of the various types of conjoined twins with an emphasis on relevant tips for optimal imaging.

Introduction: Craniopagus is one of the rarest congenital abnormalities. Separation of craniopagus twin is associated with high morbidity and mortality, especially in total type, where the twin had shared dural venous sinuses. One of the complications after separation surgery is hydrocephalus.

Conjoined twins are the result of a rare form of abnormal embryogenesis and occur with an incidence of 1 in 100,000 live births. As each case is anatomically unique, comprehensive evaluation, thorough preparation, and a specialized multidisciplinary team are integral to the success of separation surgery. We present here a case of 15-month-old female ischiopagus tetrapus conjoined twins with cloacal anomaly who underwent separation at our institution.

Conjoined twins are a rare and complex anomaly of monozygotic twin gestations, in which there is joining of the bodies of two individuals. Prenatal imaging, including fetal MRI, plays a crucial role in prognostication and planning for these twins' families and multi-disciplinary medical teams. The ability of fetal MRI to provide large field-of-view imaging is well-suited to delineate the complicated shared and individual anatomy of these twins.

Background: The birth of conjoined twins is an extremely rare neonatal condition, occurring in approximately 1 in 100,000 live births. Ischiopagus, a form of conjoined twinning where the twins are joined at the pelvis, accounts for 6-11% of all conjoined twins. Ischiopagus conjoined twinning is a congenital anomaly.
