probably the most famous conjoined twins in the world they brought their type of magic to the world when they were born on march 7th 1990 in minnesota united states these girls made headlines when they were just six years old and they were guests on the oprah winfrey show they have two heads and one torso actually a rare occurrence in the conjoined twin community they each have their own heart set of lungs and stomach but share reproductive organs a lot of teamwork is needed to go through life for these girls they've had to learn to agree
with each other on daily routines just imagine doing things next to your sibling over and over again yeah it was pretty hard for abby and britney too at first but eventually they came to understand each other and learn how to coordinate their movements abby controls the right side and brittany the left they've learned such a level of cooperation that they even have learned how to drive a car that's impressive the girls got their tv special called joined for life and eventually got their own television show on tlc called simply abby and brittany number nine tatiana
and christa these twins are happy all the time it comes so effortlessly tatyana and krista hogan from vancouver british columbia are joined cranial package twins how this works is that they're joined at the top back and sides of their heads chance of survival for these twins was not high they were given only a 20 chance of survival at birth but the lovely sisters managed to beat the odds tatiana is smaller than her sister and her heart was working overtime to supply blood to christiana's brain surgery was recommended to relieve the burden on tatiana seeing that
this situation was causing her to have high blood pressure because their brains are conjoined as well interestingly each twin can see through her sister's eyes wait what how cool is that number eight two-headed baby in south west china in 2011 another set of conjoined girls with two distinct functioning heads and one body were born in a hospital in south west china they also had two arms two legs two spines and share other organs they are thorax which excludes any separation their two heads were functioning fine since both babies were heard crying like regular babies usually
conjoined twins are attached by another body part making this an extremely rare case interestingly the parents of the pair didn't find out about the abnormality until two days before the birth ultrasound scans failed to reveal the two heads because the technicians could only see a single embryo this is a very rare medical condition number 7. shivanath and shivram sahu 12 year old conjoined twin boys from india were joined at the waste with each boy controlling two arms and a single leg the boys caused quite a stir in their village some villagers even go as far
as to worship them as they believe the boys are divine incarnations yes they became sort of demigods doctors think that they could be successfully separated but the boys flat out refuse to even consider it for their morning routine they help each other out by brushing each other's hair and helping the other tidy up they even ride to school on a tricycle while one twin pedals the other steers super cool in addition to the emotional impact of being separated it would be physically harder for shivanath to get by shivanov would be able to retain both legs
and live a normal life while his brother would be left with no legs and would likely require full-time care number six a baby with two faces you think you've seen it all but no these kids will blow your mind it's a special never before seen never heard of phenomenon a baby with two faces you don't see that every day do you i know you're thinking is this baby even real well if you think this baby isn't real you're right yep turns out a two-headed baby isn't a baby at all it's a reborn doll a handmade
artwork was created with the intention of adults buying them as a collectible item these dolls are also for therapy and comfort those who've lost children and additionally bring joy to the elderly this doll in particular is the work of stephanie ortiz a reborn artist a collector from california wow well done stephanie number 5. tres johnson this happy-go-lucky guy suffers from dipper soppers an extremely rare congenital disorder whereby parts of all of the face are duplicated diffuse means two faces in greek the condition is also known by its other name cranial facial duplication so what happens
is in the first few weeks of gestation while the embryo is developing an extra protein causes a genetic mutation and causes duplication of the cranial facial and neurological features tres johnson was born with a large cleft two separate nostrils and an abnormally shaped head cognitive delays and he also suffers seizures doctors told his parents brandy and joshua that their son was unlikely to survive at almost every stage of his life which was quite a bummer but dress keeps proving the doctors wrong by living through every phase and hitting milestones other kids his age were hitting
as well number four one part conjoined one part not this baby named galong from the city of baton in indonesia was born with two faces two brains but just one body doctors failed to detect the deformity and ultrasound scans the body's mother didn't feel anything unusual during pregnancy although he has just one body with two arms and two legs the lung is technically a conjoined twin on his head he has the face and brain of a twin that didn't grow its own body in the womb because their mother's egg did not completely split number three
joined at the top of their heads we have a few more to go next to these two boys joined at the top of their heads how does that work you won't believe me take a look at the video and see for yourself it's unbelievable pay close attention to the way they move now isn't that something and before you ask yes this video is 100 real before we move on carmen and lupita on the day they were born doctors warned their parents they would only survive a few days at most but the girls were able to
beat the odds they share a chest wall and a joint from there to the pelvis where their spines meet each has two arms but only one leg with carmen controlling the right leg and lupita the left as you can imagine learning coordination was essential for these two they also share some ribs and the liver a circulatory system as well as digestive and reproductive systems attending school is also a challenge because lupita requires special needs classes while carmen could be in a standard classroom the twins also do live a normal life they play the piano and
drive a car although they have completely different personalities they say they'll never want to be separated and would prefer to be conjoined forever number two ruth and kitty the world is full of special people with special abilities and with time these people become the center of others attention ruth and kitty are one such pair of twins as models they like to push the limits of what they can or can't do they pose as conjoined twins they have used that as the avenue for their modelling under the very x factor that sets them apart from other
models look at this picture look at it closely they're not conjoined but their poses often communicate otherwise they can make these pictures seem so real number one mana magette mana is an egyptian girl who suffered from a rare condition that occurs when an embryo splits in the womb but does not fully develop into a twin a second head contained eyes and nose and mouth but was not connected to any internal organs known as craniopagus parasitic as the condition is one of the rarest forms of birth defects of course this prevented her from leading a normal
childhood so her parents opted to give her surgery to remove the second head surgery was successful but unfortunately the story has a tragic ending when she was released from the hospital she developed complications and soon after she was readmitted in very poor condition she had developed a serious brain infection and died soon afterwards which of these conjoined cases has fascinated you the most shoot us a comment below and while you're at it like and subscribe your comment might feature in our next episode
