| ABSTRACT |  | ||||||
: Cephalophagus is the rarest type of conjoined twins. Given the exceedingly dismal prognosis, early prenatal detection is crucial because surgical separation is not an option in many situations. The present case report presents a rare non janiceps cephalophagus conjoined twin pregnancy in a 22-year-old primigravida, identified during the third-trimester antenatal ultrasound. Imaging revealed a single face, a shared thoracic cavity with one heart. There were two lungs, the upper abdomen was fused, and the stomach and liver were shared. Two vertebral columns, separate pelvises, and two pairs of limbs were seen. An omphalocele containing liver tissue was observed. An emergency C-section delivered the cephalophagus foetus, underscoring the vital role of early antenatal ultrasound in managing such cases. | |||||||
