This anomaly arises when the embryo undergoes a partial division that creates the conditions for two fetuses to develop in parallel, which are normally stillborn or survive shortly after birth. In cases the Siamese twins survive, medical and technological advances allow, in some cases, to separate them through surgeries whose viability will depend on the common organs and which part they are joined from. Siamese twins\u2019 classification depends on the body area where they are joined from: Thoracopagus: joined by the thorax in the chest area, so they are face to face. They usually share the heart, liver, and part of the intestine. Omphalopagus: joined in the abdomen on one side of the navel. They share the liver, colon, and ileum. Pygopagus: joined at the bottom of the spine. They share part of the intestines and, in some cases, the urinary system and genitals. Rachipagus: they are joined by the entire spine, being a rare case. Ischiopagus: joined by the pelvis and sharing the liver, lower intestines, urinary tract, and genitalia. In certain cases, they can share lower limbs.\u00a0 Parapagus: they are joined by the trunk, being able to share upper and lower limbs.\u00a0 Craniopagus: they are joined by the back, front, side, or top of the head. Usually, each has their own brain, but they do share some nerve tissue. Cephalopagus: joined at the head and chest. They have a single head and a single brain, so it is very difficult for them to survive.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/centromedicoabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/share-imagen-centro-medico-abc.png","thumbnail_width":779,"thumbnail_height":406}
