Anesthetic management for separation of craniopagus twins

W Q Huang et al. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand. 2004 Aug.

Abstract

We report the anesthetic management of a case of separation of craniopagus twins with unbalanced cross circulation and one twin with renal dysfunction. After intravenous induction, anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane inhalation and propofol infusion. Twin A survived but Twin B died after the surgery. The anesthetic problems during the operation are discussed.
