摘要: Craniopagus twins are rare and account for up to 6% of all conjoined twins. No hospital will encounter many such the opportunity develop expertise is limited. We have dealt with 2 sets illustrate our approach by reference most recent set. believe that detailed imaging allows precise delineation anatomy facilitates planning surgery. When venous drainage from brains connected, we staged separation preferable as gradual alteration hemodynamics may be safer than a single-stage procedure.
