Identical twin sisters meet for 1st time nearly 1 year after birthAn 11-month-old girl met her identical twin sister Monday, marking their first meeting since their birth last May.

Emma and Nina, who are identical twins, were born via cesarean section at 35 weeks at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital in New York City. The girls are monochorionic diamniotic twins, meaning they shared a placenta but were in separate sacs. Emma was born healthy but Nina was born with a rare condition called Pierre Robin syndrome, also called Pierre Robin sequence. According to the National Institutes of Health, the rare syndrome is marked by a"smaller than normal lower jaw," a tongue that's farther back in the mouth and a cleft palate.Emma is older than her identical twin sister Nina by about two minutes.
"She was basically trapped in her sac. It was folded over into what's called a pseudo sac and it kind of trapped her and clung to her real tight," dad Daniel Sparano explained."When she was growing, she was growing with that covering her mouth and pushing her jaw down, causing a ... cleft palate."Nina was born with Pierre Robin Syndrome, a rare congenital condition that led Nina to have a cleft palate and an underdeveloped jaw.
