Ischiopagi

Ischiopagi is the medical term used for conjoined twins (Class V) united at the pelvis.

It specifically describes a condition involving the fused lower half of the two bodies, with spines conjoined end-to-end at a 180° angle. Ischiopagic twins have four arms; two, three or four legs; and typically one external genitalia and anus.[1]

Ischiopagus Tripus: the twins share three legs, the third leg is often two fused legs, or is non-functioning; only one set of external genitalia is common

Ischiopagus Tetrapus/Quadripus: the twins have four legs
