Twins that are born connected are called conjoined twins. There are different kinds of conjoined twins, including thoracopagus, omphalopagus, and craniophagus twins, While thoracopagus twins are connected at the torso's top portion and can share one heart, omphalopagus twins are joined from the breastbone to the waist and share a liver. Craniophagus twins are connected at the head region.
