Should it be possible to detect this abnor- mity within the uterus, division in some way or other may pos- sibly be acccaii)lislied. The ihoracojyagus (fig. 26) is a monstrosity consisting of two foetuses grown together at the xyphoid cartilage of the sternum and its neighborhood (xypho- 2H((jiis), or having a common thoracic cavity (sternojmgus). It is often very difficult to diagnose it. In the beginning one always thinks to be dealing with twins. A close examina- tion only can ensure a diag- nosis. Any parts which have already entered the pelvic canal should be repelled in order to assure a thorough examination and allow us to make plans for extraction, respectively embryotomy. Treatment.—Totsil extraction can only be attempted in small foituses, or when parturition takes place in the seventh or eighth month; whil^ embryotomy must be resorted to iu voluminous monstrosities.
