| Summary: | Multiple pregnancies are 3% of the total. The most frequent are dizygotic females, however, a small group of them are of monozygotic conjoined twins in some anatomical area.

We report a case of male Siamese omphalopagus. They were separated surgically at seven weeks of age. One of them lived six months. |
