Two cases of prenatally diagnosed conjoined twins are presented: a set of omphalopagus twins sharing a common liver, and a set of craniopagus with involvement limited to the skull. In both cases, prenatal diagnosis allowed accurate planning of pre- and postnatal management. Prenatal management involved serial imaging and counseling with participation of different specialists according to imaging findings. In the rare case of conjoined twins, an interdisciplinary approach is required, with feto-maternal specialists playing a pivotal role in co-ordinating teamwork and planning successive stages of management.
