Ultrafast magnetic resonance imaging of cephalopagus conjoined twins

Background: Ultrafast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used succes sfully in antenatal diagnosis. Case: We report a case of cephalopagus conjoined twins in which ultrafast M RI clarified how the twins were united, especially the neuroanatomy, and he lped with antenatal counseling. Conclusion: Ultrafast MRI can provide superior image quality to two-dimensi onal ultrasonography and should be considered an adjunct to ultrasound for antenatal characterization of some anomalies.
