Diprosopus is an extremely rare form of craniofacial malformation seen in newborns where there is duplication of face which may be partial or complete. The baby usually has a single trunk and normal limbs. We report a case of diprosopus admitted in our institute and analyze the anomalies and clinical problems and outcome of the case.

Key-words:

Diprosopus - facial duplication - neurulation
