Twins with Shared Liver
Description:
Twins with a shared liver, also known as "conjoined twins" with hepatosplenic fusion, are a rare type of conjoined twins where the liver is fused together, meaning the two individuals share a single organ. This condition is very rare and occurs when the embryos of identical twins fail to separate completely during early development. This shared organ may be fully functional or have complications depending on the degree of fusion.
Challenges:
- Complex surgeries may be required to separate the twins if possible.
- Both twins may need to share the blood supply and liver function, which can complicate their growth and development.
- In some cases, separation may not be viable, and the twins must live with shared organ systems.
Medical Intervention:
- Medical professionals may monitor the liver function of both twins regularly.
- In cases where separation is possible, a team of specialists may perform a highly complex operation.
