With only a 1% chance of survival beyond the first year, 34-year-old conjoined twins, Brittany and Abby Hensel, were deemed a ‘medical miracle' after becoming one of the first sets of conjoined twins to survive infancy.
With just one set of twins in every 40,000 born connected in some way to each other, conjoined twins, which refers to twins that are physically fused in utero and consequently at birth, generally have a poor prognosis. The total survival rate is 7.5%, and only 60% of the surgically separated cases survive according to The National Library of Medicine.
While the twins share a single body and all the same organs (including intestine bladder and reproductive organs) they are joined at the pelvis and share a single body from the waist down, controlling one side of the body each. This means growing up, working in synchronicity was key, as leaning to crawl, walk and clap required careful co-operation and co-ordination.
