Management of thoracopagus conjoined twins is predominantly determined by the associated complex cardiovascular abnormalities seen in the majority of these cases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including three-dimensional contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) provides a useful complement to conventional cardiac echocardiography or catheterization for detailed evaluation of the extra-cardiac anatomy. We report a pair of female thoracopagus conjoined twins with a shared six-chambered heart. The MRA findings are highlighted.
胸腹联体双胎的治疗主要取决于在大多数此类病例中所见的相关复杂心血管异常情况。磁共振成像(MRI),包括三维对比增强磁共振血管造影(MRA),对于常规心脏超声心动图或心导管检查而言,是一种有用的补充手段,可用于详细评估心脏外解剖结构。我们报告了一对拥有共同六腔心脏的女性胸腹联体双胎。重点介绍了MRA的检查结果。
