Summary
Separating craniopagus conjoined twins is rare and complex. This study successfully used endovascular techniques and 3D models for a challenging separation, including shared venous channels.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Vascular Surgery
- Pediatric Surgery
Background:
- Craniopagus conjoined twins, joined at the head, represent an extremely rare congenital anomaly.
- Surgical separation is exceptionally challenging due to intricate shared vascular systems and limited prior experience.
- Advanced neuroimaging is crucial for preoperative assessment of complex cerebral vasculature.
