Ischiopagus Tetrapus Conjoined Twins
We report a case of ischiopagus tetrapus conjoined twins with one pascombined birth weight of 5,000 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 handied 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.
