Abstract

We report a case of ischiopagus tetrapus conjoined twins with one pas­sageway (cloaca type) and bom at term by spontaneously vaginal dcliveiy, with a combined birth weight of 5000 grams. There was no history of twin in the family. Dur­ing hospitalization, the conjoined twins suffered from sepsis due to ascending infection from cloacal portion, At the age of 17 days, an exploratory laparatomy and divided co­lostomy was performed. The postoperative complications were bleeding and sepsis. The bleeding could be properly handled only in 4 days after the treatment, whilst sepsis could not be overcome. Even in the 16th day after the operation, a peritonitis occurred followed by intestines prolapse from the edge of operative incision (on the 19th post­operative day) resulting in the death of the conjoined twins.
