Özet
A case of thoracopagus twins with conjoined hearts and livers is described. The female twins were delivered in the 19th week of gestation. There was a common pericardial sac and the hearts were joined at the atrial and ventricular levels. Prenatally, surgical separation was considered impossible due to the fused heart, which was confirmed by the autopsy findings.
