Abstract:
Objective To report the microsurgical separation of the protruded cerebral tissue in the case of complex craniopagus twins and evaluate the role of the neuronavigation system in this operation Methods After the multiple bone flap were made,register again and then separate the cerebral tissue along the arachnoid plane under the guiding of the neuronavigation system(SNN) until the straight sinus was exposed Results The protruded cerebral hemisphere and cerebellar hemisphere of the twins were successfully separated Unfortunately,part of the occipital lobe of twin B(right) had to be removed because of the brain swelling Conclusion In the case of complicated craniopagus,the neuronavigation system is valuable in positioning the deep common sinus To separate the cerebral tissue along the arachnoid plane under surgical microscope can reduce the cerebral injury
