Case Reports of 16 Sets of Conjoined Twins from a Uganda Hospital

  • E.Z.N. Zake (a1)
Abstract

During a 10-year period (1971-1980) 16 sets of conjoined twins were delivered in the author's hospital. The incidence of those twins was 1 in 4242 deliveries, 1 in 69 multiple births, and 1 in 139 congenitally malformed babies. All diagnoses were made during labour or at operation and all babies were lost. There were no maternal deaths.
