Conjoined twins are not a usual anomaly seen at birth and certainly people may have different or wrong beliefs about this malformation especially when seen for the first time. In this article, we review some important cases of conjoined twins in the history and we present a very rare case of parapagus united twins after an overview of literature. We will end up with a short discussion and conclusion.
