Abstract
Two cases of conjoined twins were diagnosed during first-trimester end ovaginal ultrasound and were confirmed by embryoscopy performed prior to the termination of pregnancy, An early and accurate diagnosis of th is anomaly, obtained by the combined use of ultrasound and endoscopy, may enable adequate counselling and an earlier termination of pregnanc y associated with minimal maternal risks.
