Re: conjoined twinsFrom: Philippe Jeanty, MD, PhD (jeanty@TheFetus.net)Mon Feb 9 08:34:24 2004
Sorry previous answer was truncated. How do you explain the hypothesis ? _____ From: ultrasound@obgyn.net [mailto:ultrasound@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Serge Guichard Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 9:24 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ULTRASOUND Subject: conjoined twins It looks like a thoracophagus.The single cord seems to be divided with two insertions on the placenta. On the US images there seems to be an intra abdominal cystic mass.Its difficult to determine if this mass is common to the two twins. The gender dissociation could be the result of a virilising pelvic tumor of one of the twins.( Androblastomas?) Or if there is no tumor it could be a genetic disorder of the sex differenciation of one twin.(mosaicism?) The autopsy and the caryotype will surely help. Serge Guichard,M.D Obst-Gyn

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.
