title: Imaging of an unusual case of parasitic twinning.
abstract: Conjoined twins are rare in the literature and parasitic conjoined twins are rarer still. To our knowledge no cases of parasitic conjoined twins have previously been reported in the radiology literature. We present a case of parasitic conjoined twins in which radiographic findings played an important role in management.
