The Role of a Fetal Center in Preparing for a Conjoined Twin Delivery

Abstract

A successful fetal center provides a complete continuum of care for complex fetal patients, expectant mothers, and families. Ongoing communication among community obstetricians, pediatricians, maternal-fetal medicine physicians, neonatologists, and other pediatric specialists is critical to provide comprehensive prenatal counseling and establish a supportive care team for families before and after the birth of their child. This case reveals the role of a fetal center in planning for the delivery and resuscitation of conjoined twins and their subsequent postnatal care.
