Cranially conjoined twins (craniopagus) are regarded as one of the rarest human malformations. Craniopagus represents 2 to 6% of conjoined twins and is the rarest type of disorder. A conventional angiogram with three dimensions is needed to confirm the exact extent of sharing of the arterial / venous tree. 3D angiography was first proposed by CORNELIUS and advanced into clinical practice by VOIGT in 1975. We present a case of craniopagus vertical type II twins, evaluated for cerebral circulation.
头颅联体双胎(颅部联体双胎)被视为最罕见的人类畸形之一。颅部联体双胎占联体双胎的2%至6%,是最罕见的畸形类型。需要进行常规三维血管造影来确认动脉/静脉树共享的确切范围。三维血管造影由科尼利厄斯首次提出,并于1975年由沃伊特引入临床实践。我们报告一例垂直型II类颅部联体双胎病例,对其脑循环进行了评估。
