A parasitic twin is an identical twin that has stopped developing during gestation, but is physically attached to the fully developing twin. The fully developed twin is also known as the dominant or autosite twin.

The parasitic twin never completes development. Rarely, if ever, do parasitic twins have a complete brain or functional heart. They usually don’t share organs with the dominant twin. They can’t survive on their own.

In some cases, the dominant twin looks like a normally developed baby with extra limbs or unrecognizable protrusions. Without treatment, this twin may develop severe health problems from the efforts of supporting the parasitic twin.

Case 1:  The baby was born with a fully formed head sticking out of her stomach

Case 2: 15-Year-Old Boy Has Fetus Removed From Stomach

Case 3: 10 month- old, baby Dominique was born with a parasitic rachipagus twin.

Case 4: A 29 years male with a huge mass 
in left temporal region since birth.

Case 5: Maged Twin, an Egyptian girl who survived an operation to remove a second head has died from a brain infection.
