Abstract
Conjoined twins are the rare malformations of monozygotic-twins pregnancies associated with bad fetal prognosis. Craniopagus are even more rarely encountered and their management is complex particularly in our low-medical-equipment countries. From an observation of craniopagus twins, we present several difficulties in the management of the case. Diagnosis was late; because of the onset of labour, delivery was not prepared; the conditions of neonatal and social management were not adapted. Surgical treatment was not considered owing to the absence of appropriate technological conditions and means.
