Re: Conjoined twins?From: Allen Worrall (jworrall@alaska.net)Tue Oct 14 00:06:49 2003
It is difficult to believe that they were boy and girl. Of course conjoined twins are monozygotic, monochorionic, monoamniotic, and result from late separation of the zygote. Since they are monzygotic, conventional wisdom says they should be the same gender. If the report is true, boy and girl, how will the embryologists and geneticists explain this? Maybe some weird chromosomal problem - maybe they are not XX and XY but one of them is some sort of mosaic? Maybe ambiguous genitalia? I had not heard about this set in Rome, but there was something in the paper about conjoined twins joined at the top of the head, operated here in the US, 34 hour operation, went OK. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Allen Joseph A Worrall MD RDMS OB/GYN Ultrasound at the Fairbanks Clinic Fairbanks, Alaska, 99701 jworrall@alaska.net http://www.obgynsono.com

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
