Abstract QS8: Separating Craniopagus Twins: A 4 Stage Approach Using 3D Imaging Technology

PURPOSE: Craniopagus twins are the rarest form of conjoined twins, and successful separation poses a significant challenge to both neurosurgical and plastic surgical teams. Total craniopagus twins share a unified calvarium that houses two fused brains with shared venous sinuses. One senior author has previously separated 11 sets of craniopagus twins, and the relative advantages of our most recent approach using 3D technology will be discussed
