Conjoined twins have astonished doctors after being born with four arms, two legs and two heads.
The babies were not a surprise to the mother who was aware that she was expecting conjoined twins – her identity remains anonymous.
They were born at Mansoura University Hospital in Egypt and in the nine-month leading up to their birth the pregnancy was considered conventional.
From the torso down they look like one child, but from above, they each have a head and a neck.
They also have two arms each.
The twins were born by c-section and their genders have not yet been revealed.
It is believed that, because they share too many organs in the chest, the children will never be separated.
