Rare and Unusual Complications of Twin Pregnancies 

Monozygotic twinning occurs when a single fertilized ovum splits after conception. The outcome depends on the timing of division. In the first 72 hours after fertilization, a diamniotic, dichorionic twin develops; between days 4 and 8, a diamniotic, monochorionic twin develops; approximately 8 days after fertilization, a monoamniotic, monochorionic twin develops; and after day 12, conjoined twins (shown) develop. Monozygotic twins occur in 4 in 1,000 births. Diagnosis is best done by ultrasound in the first or early second trimester.

• Conjoined twins are a rare event in the world's delivery rooms. 
• They occur about once in every 50,000 births, but 40% are stillborn, and, curiously, 70% are female. 
• Conjoined twins are always identical: the product of a single egg that for some unknown reason failed to divide fully into separate twins during the first three weeks of gestation.

Co-joined Twins with the Rare condition "craniopagus parasiticus"

Rare  Cojoined Twins

  
Manar was born with a rare condition known as craniopagus parasiticus, which occurs when an embryo begins to split into identical twins but fails to complete the process. One of the conjoined twins fails to develop fully in the womb.

As in the case of a girl who died after similar surgery in the Dominican Republic a year ago, the second twin had developed no body. The head that was removed from Manar had been capable of smiling and blinking but not independent life, doctors said.

The sisters are believed to suffer from a condition known as dicephalic parapagus – an extremely unusual form of twin conjoinment where only a single body develops.
Because they share the same body, it is not possible to separate dicephalic parapagus conjoined twins.
The birth of dicephalic parapagus conjoined twins – who develop after a fertilized egg cell fails to divide fully – is extremely rare, with most cases occurring in southwest Asia and Africa.

The case is similar to that of Indian toddler Lakshmi Tatma, who was also born with eight limbs and worshipped as a deity in her home state of Bihar back in 2005.
Little Lakshmi made headlines around the world when she was successfully operated upon in 2007 – and then started school walking like any other happy youngster in 2010.

Conjoined twin brothers(Medical miracle)

Rare Twins -  India

These conjoined twin brothers are lucky to be alive after being born sharing the same torso because of a rare one-in-a-million medical condition.

Sohna and Mohna have defied all the odds to celebrate their ninth birthday despite their condition killing most at birth.

In an orphanage in Amritsar, India, the pair go to lessons and live life to the full even though they share the same torso and two legs - each boy has their own two arms.

The brothers are what is known as dicephalic parapagus twins
The Indian twins are just one of a handful of known cases alive today in the world as more than half of twins with the condition are stillborn.

“Sirenomelia, alternatively known as Mermaid Syndrome, is a very rare congenital deformity in which the legs are fused together, giving them the appearance of a mermaid’s tail. 

This condition is found in approximately one out of every 100,000 live births[1] (about as rare as conjoined twins) and is usually fatal within a day or two of birth because of complications associated with abnormal kidney and urinary bladder development and function.”
