An autopsy case was reported on cephalothoracopagus monosymmetros cyclops of a female infant, eight months of 'gestation, delivered by a 25 years-old primipara Japanese. The present case was suggested to be the monster by X-ray examination before artificial laber. There were no history of condgenital malformation in her close relatives and no consanguineous marridge. Her mother had not been affected by such factors causing probable malformation during her pregnancy as viral and bacterial infection, irradiation, trauma of the abdomen, etc. There was one placenta weighing 380gm with a common umblical cord.<BR>The specimen consisted of two apparently identical female twins joined ventrally from the umbilicus upward. There were four arms and four legs. There was only one welldeveloped face, on the opposite side of which there was a malformed. face with a cutaneous proboscis just upon the cyclopia. As shown in this present report, the skeletal systems and internal organs in the jointed head and trunk showed a complex arrangement, as well as a typical connection mode.
