Craniopagus twins: neuroradiological findings (CT, angiography, MRI)
Neuroradiology.
1988.
Abstract
A pair of craniopagus twins was examined with CT, angiography and MRI, to preoperatively assess their cerebral anatomy and blood flow. Angiography revealed a common venous sinus and a venous cross-flow from one brain to the other. This common sinus was also identified in magnetic resonance images. The significance of accurately evaluating the veins and sinuses in craniopagus twins is stressed.
