Abstract: We present an unusual case of Janiceps asymmetros, a rare variant of the cephalothoracopagus type of conjoined twins. Incidence of cephalothoracopagus is 1 in 3 million births and 1 in 58 sets of conjoined twins. Only about 300 cases have been reported in the literature until date. Early intrapartum ultrasound diagnosis of Janiceps allows careful planning the mode of delivery and preoperative assessment for surgical separation of conjoined twins. Final outcome depends on state of conjoined organs and potential for successful separation of conjoined twins.
