Craniofacial duplication (diprosopus) is a rare form of conjoined twins. A case of monocephalus diprosopus with anencephaly, cervicothoracolumbar rachischisis, and duplication of the respiratory tract and upper gastrointestinal tract is reported. The cardiovascular system remained single but the heart showed transposition of the great vessels. We present this case due to its rarity, and compare our pathologic findings with those already reported.
颅面重复畸形（双面畸形）是联体双胎的一种罕见形式。本文报告一例单头双面畸形合并无脑儿、颈胸腰段脊柱裂以及呼吸道和上消化道重复畸形的病例。心血管系统为单一系统，但心脏显示大血管转位。鉴于该病例的罕见性，我们予以报道，并将我们的病理发现与已报道的结果进行比较。
