Diprosopus tetraophthalmos: a rare congenital anomaly

Diprosopus is an extremely rare form of conjoined twins which is found in newborns where there is partial or complete duplication of face. The etiology and pathophysiology remain unknown and no genetic mutations have definitively associated with the condition so far. This article described a case of an infant born at 33.4 weeks gestation with multiple congenital anomalies including diprosopus tetraophthalmos and discussed the possible hypothesis and implications of prenatal diagnosis.
