1 Conjoined twins occur in approximately one in 50,000 births, and the majority do not survive (they are stillborn).
Approximately 75% of conjoined twins are female, and 70% are fused at the thorax (thoracopagus) or abdomen (omphalopagus). The union can be in the frontal, transverse, or sagittal plane.The following two photographs show union in a transverse plane in the lower body area, so that the twins face each other. support group for conjoined twins, Conjoined Twins International, was founded in 1996 in Prescott, Arizona, by the grandparents of a set of conjoined twins.
