A pair of twin girls, who were born connected at the head, in Sahiwal, brought to Islamabad

Pakistani newly born conjoined twin girls, not named yet, are admitted at a local hospital in Islamabad, Pakistan on Monday, March 15, 2010.


ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani neurosurgeon said that doctors were studying a pair of twin girls who were recently born connected at the head to determine whether they can separate them.

The infants were brought to a hospital in Islamabad on Monday from the city of Sahiwal in Punjab province where they were born a few days earlier.

The two are connected at the head facing opposite directions.

Khaleequz Zaman, a neurosurgeon at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, said doctors will decide this week whether they can operate on the twins.
