Over the years, fans have been fascinated with conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel. (haus-visualisieren.de)
Separation5
Raffles Hospital undertook the surgical separation of a pair of adult craniopagus twins, Laleh Bijani and Ladan Bijani of Iran. (wikipedia.org)
In conjoined twins, complete separation of the chorionic mass does not occur and non-separated parts of the otherwise normal twins remain fused throughout development. (contemporarypediatrics.com)
Craniopagus separation requires careful planning and a multi-staged surgical approach, managed by a multidisciplinary team. (bvsalud.org)
That's why the recent surgical separation of conjoined twin boys with fused brains in Brazil is so incredible. (upworthy.com)
Born as craniopagus twins (joined at the cranium), their brains were also fused together, making their separation extremely complex. (upworthy.com)
Siamese3
The girls were conjoined-what used to be called "Siamese"-twins. (brucegrierson.com)
Siamese twins remain joined by some aberration in the duplication process that normally produces 2 identical twins. (contemporarypediatrics.com)
Fetus2

Opposite1
Plus: "Given the way the brains are packed together-they're physically separate but they sort of interdigitate like the teeth of a zipper-it was clear to me that we'd end up with weakness on one side for one twin and on the opposite side for the other," Cochrane explains. (brucegrierson.com)
Brains2
And they shared something else, too, something believed to be unprecedented among living twins: a "bridge" of tissue connected their otherwise-separate brains amidships, at a crucial relay station called the thalamus. (brucegrierson.com)
According to Reuters , Bernardo and Arthur are the oldest twins with fused brains to be successfully separated. (upworthy.com)
Incredibly2
Born in Carver County, MN, doctors discovered that they were not only conjoined twins, but incredibly rare, even for. (haus-visualisieren.de)
Surgeries can range from fairly simple to incredibly complex, but few surgeries are more complicated than separating conjoined twins with combined major organs. (upworthy.com)
Births2
It is estimated that only one in every 200,000 births results in conjoined twins. (haus-visualisieren.de)
One in every 200,000 live births results in a set of conjoined twins, and their chances of survival are between just 5 and 25 percent. (haus-visualisieren.de)
Share8
Krista and Tatiana Hogan are craniopagus conjoined twins - joined at the head, they share a neural bridge. (wisciblog.com)
In my earlier post, I had argued that "the twins' ability to share thoughts without speaking weakens the case for Thomistic dualism, and lends support to a subtle variety of materialism which incorporates top-down causation . (theskepticalzone.com)
Where Torley disagrees with my view that the twins' mental abilities are consistent with Thomistic dualism is on their ability to share thoughts. (theskepticalzone.com)
It is clear that the Hogan twins share some thoughts - they giggle at private thoughts that they seem to share. (theskepticalzone.com)
I believe that the twins share images and perceptions , and that their reaction to the images that they share (giggling) is a manifestation that they both quite separately find the images funny. (theskepticalzone.com)
We report, for the first time, on a separated craniopagus child who underwent successful implant of a tailor-made system based on the combination of calcium phosphate ceramic reinforced with a titanium mesh. (bvsalud.org)
Jeelani told the BBC that it was the first time surgeons in separate countries practiced by operating in the same 'virtual reality room' together, wearing VR headsets. (upworthy.com)
Heads3
Brittany and Abby were born on March 7, 1990, as dicephalic parapagus twins, which refers to two heads joined to one body. (haus-visualisieren.de)
They are dicephalic parapagus twins (having two heads joined to one torso), and are highly symmetric for conjoined twins, giving the appearance of having a single body without marked variation from typical proportions. (haus-visualisieren.de)
In his latest article , Professor Egnor contests my claim that the Hogan twins are capable of sharing thoughts ("We talk in our heads" is how the twins describe it). (theskepticalzone.com)
Possibility1
The type of delivery is determined by the size of the twins, the nature of their fusion, the possibility of their survival, and parental wishes. (contemporarypediatrics.com)
