Herditary Anhidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasiain Twins
Myung Gil Han, Do Hyun Kim, Hyung Ro Moon
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(7):1005-1009.   Published online July 15, 1996
Hereditary anhidrotic ectodermal Dysplasia is a congenital disease displaying characteristics of anhidrosis, hypotrichosis and dental defect which are caused by developmental anomaly of ectodermal epidermis and its appendages. We experienced two cases of hereditary anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in two-year and four-month old twin brothers. These patients suffered from intermittent high fever early in life which brought them to our clinical attention. However the diagnosis of...
Two Cases of Conjoined twins
Hyung Jo Jung, Swi Sook Kim, Il Kyung Kim, Ho Sung, Chang Hee Choi, Hyo Jin Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(9):1276-1282.   Published online September 15, 1995
Conjoined twins are known to be very rare congenital malformations and may be viewedas examples of incomplete twining. Because of their associated anomalies, particularly of cardiovascular system, they usually survive only short postnatal period. We have experienced 2 cases of conjoined twins. One case of dicephalus dipus dibrachius and another case of thoracopagus are presented with brief review of literature.

Young Don Kim, Jeong Hwa Choi, Jae Hong Park, Hee Ju Park, Seong Suk Jeon
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(10):1469-1473.   Published online October 15, 1994
Congenital adrenal hperplasia is inherited disorder of adrenal steroidogenesis. 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the most commone enzymatic defect and is divided into classic and late-onset or nonclassic forms. Both classic and non-classic 21-hydroxylase deficiencies are inherited in a recessive manner as allelic variants. But it is rare that happened in twin infants. Chief complaints of affected twins in our case were ambiguous...

The conjoined twins seems preferable to such as craniopagus, thoracopagus, ischiopagus and pyopagus. Because of their associated anomalies, particularly of cardiovascular system, and difficulties in delivery, they usually survive only short postnatal period. Successful surgical separation and long term survival would have been achieved in a small numbers...
