Conjoined Twins in Guinea Pigs: A Case Report

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Simple Summary Cases of newborn connected twins, so-called Siamese twins, are well known in humans, laboratory mammals, domestic and wild birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish. This report describes a unique case of newborn conjoined twins in guinea pigs (Cavia aperea f. porcellus). Connected twins in guinea pigs have been very rare, and there are only a few previous reported cases. This report is only the fourth described case of the birth of conjoined guinea pigs. They were born in breeding in the Czech Republic in 2020. The conjoined twins were males connected in the upper body by a cephalopagus-type connection, which has occurred in all three previous reports. The skeletons of both the bodies were connected by a broad shared skull and sternum. Both of the fused bodies had their own hearts and livers, but the lungs were mutual. The issue of this anomaly has not yet been clearly explained. The report describes a unique case of newborn conjoined twins in guinea pigs (Cavia aperea f. porcellus). Connected twins in guinea pigs have been very rare, and there are only a few previous reported cases. The newborns were stillborn in breeding in the Czech Republic in 2020 as two bodies conjoined into one. The external and internal structure of the body and the type of connection of both of the bodies are described. The weights of selected internal organs of the twins are compared with those of normally developed newborn guinea pigs.
