Abstract

Craniofacial duplication is a twin pregnancy defect; particularly in monozygotic, monochorionic and monoamniotic pregnancies. Of all twin pregnancy complications, the least frequent is a fetus with craniofacial duplication (diprosopus). In this article we report a case with this condition, and we review the literature on this rarest of human malformations.
