title: Conjoined twins and abdominal pregnancy.
abstract: Abdominal pregnancy is rare; conjoined twins are also rare. The diagnosis of abdominal pregnancy is easily missed and often not made until near full-term. Similarly conjoined twins are not diagnosed until late in gestation or during parturition. In this case, the diagnosis of conjoined twins and abdominal pregnancy was only made during laparotomy.
