The conjoined twins were unable to sit up during the first three years of their life Conjoined twin boys who share one bladder, rectum, and intestine are a one in two million phenomenon, a medical journal has revealed. The Ischiopagus Tripus conjoined twins from Indonesia were born in 2018 with three legs, four arms, and one penis, but their rare case has only just been reported on by the American Journal of Case Reports.
Although two babies develop from this embryo, they remain physically connected — most often at the chest, abdomen or pelvis. Conjoined twins may also share one or more internal body organs and account for one in 50,000 to 200,000 live births. Out of these, only six to 11% of conjoined twins are Ischiopagus – which is twins born joint at the pelvis. In two-thirds of cases at least one twin either dies or is stillborn.
