Should it be possible to detect this abnor- mity within the uterus, division in some M^ay or other may pos- sibly be accomplished. The thoracojxigus (fig. 26) is a monstrosity consisting of two foetuses grown together at the xyphoid cartilage of the sternum and its neighborhood {xypho- pagus), or having a common thoracic cavity (sternopagus). It is often very difiicult 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—Total extraction can only be attempted in small fcetuses, or when parturition takes place in the seventh or eighth month; while embryotomy must be resorted to in voluminous monstrosities.
