THESSALONIKI, Greece (Reuters) - On the day that Iranian twins Ladan and Laleh Bijani were buried side by side, Greece announced the birth a month ago of twin girls also conjoined at the head.

Iokem Sigalas, chief director of the Ippokratio Hospital in Greece's main northern city of Thessaloniki, said on Saturday the twins were born by caesarean section, now weighed five kilograms and had steadily put on weight since their birth at the hospital.

"They were born conjoined at the forehead on June 12," Sigalas told Reuters. "Physically, they are developing naturally and are in good health."

Sigalas said there was a case about 10 years ago in Greece of twins joined at the stomach but this was the first case he knew of in Greece of twins conjoined at the head.

Does this seem to be happening more often, or are we just hearing about it more now?
