Follow up
49.
The incidence of asymmetric twinning is extremely
rare.
About 1 per 1-2 million births.
Most common presentation is omphalopagus joined
either at hypogastric or suprapubic region.
Epigastric attachement is sparse,only 45 cases
reported to date.
Literature Review
50.
A few cases of incomplete twinning with
omphalocele are reported,but only 1 case reported
with giant omphalocele.
No case reported with ruptured giant omphalocele.
In our case we had the challenge of working out the
puzzle of parasitic heteropagus,attached to the
epigastric region with ruptured giant omphalocele.
