Sažetak

Conjoined twining is a rare medical phenomenon, with an
overall prevalence of 1.47 per 100 000 births. This report
describes a successful separation of xypho-omphalopagus
conjoined twins complicated by unbalanced blood
shunting through the porto-systemic anastomoses within
the shared liver parenchyma. Significant extrauterine twintwin
transfusion syndrome caused by unbalanced shunting
is an extremely rare, and probably under-recognized,
hemodynamic complication in conjoined twins necessitating
urgent separation. Progressive deterioration with a
poor outcome can be prevented if the condition is recognized
in a timely manner.
