This review analyzes 79 cases of craniopagus conjoined twins from 1496-1987, examining their incidence, embryology, and anatomical features. Cases were classified by shared anatomical structures to understand survival and associated abnormalities.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Science
  • Anatomy
  • Embryology

Background:

  • Craniopagus conjoined twins are rare congenital anomalies.
  • Understanding their anatomical variations is crucial for surgical planning and prognosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the incidence, embryology, anatomical features, associated abnormalities, and survival rates of craniopagus twins.
  • To classify craniopagus twins based on shared anatomical structures.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review of reported craniopagus cases from 1496 to 1987.
  • Classification of cases based on the deepest shared anatomical structure.

Main Results:

  • Analysis of 79 craniopagus cases with sufficient available information.
