Conjoined twins occurs in 1 in 50,000 to 1 in 2,00,000 fetuses with a male-female ratio of 1:3. Cases of conjoined twins occur so rarely that it is important to learn as much as possible from each case. Forty percent of the conjoined twins are still born and an additional one third diewith in 24 hours of birth. We present a case of undiagnosed still born, male, Dicephalusparapagus conjoined twins. Many congenital defects of interest can now be detected before birth. If our index case detected earlier during a properly monitored antenatal care, it may be possible to terminate the pregnancy and reduces the maternal morbidity.
