Conjoined twins or Siamese twins are identical twins whose bodies are joined in the uterus. Craniopagus is a condition in which the heads of the two twins are joined. Craniopagus parasiticus is a rare condition in which one of the twins is rudimentary in form and parasitic on the other. Few cases of craniopagus parasiticus are reported in literature; here, we present one such rare occurrence.
联体双胞胎或暹罗双胞胎是在子宫内身体相连的同卵双胞胎。颅连胎是指两个双胞胎的头部相连的情况。颅连胎寄生是一种罕见的情况,其中一个双胞胎在形式上是原始的,并寄生在另一个双胞胎上。文献中很少报道颅连胎寄生的病例;在这里,我们报告了这样一个罕见的病例。
