Poor obstetric history, previous fresh stillbirth and miscarriage. Of note was that there was cord presentation. So she was rushed into theatre with 6cm dilated cervix and a C-Section was performed. Conjoined twins, weight 1.8 kg, they had other malformations like an imperforate anus, ambiguous genitalia and fused arm/hand. Unfortunately, they passed away. Mother received counseling and psychological support from the hospital.
