Article Abstract
Introduction: Craniopagus is one of the rarest congenital abnormalities. Separation of craniopagus twin is associated with high morbidity and mortality, especially in total type, where the twin had shared dural venous sinuses. One of the complications after separation surgery is hydrocephalus. While detailed cerebral vasculature imaging is needed pre-operatively to ensure most optimal surgical approach, post-operative vasculature imaging is no less important to assess changes in cerebral venous system after separation surgery.
Case Presentation: Separation surgery was successfully accomplished in a total vertical craniopagus twin with shared dural venous sinuses. One twin experienced hydrocephalus after surgery, while the other twin had CSF leakage from the wound. LP shunt was placed in both twin and they had good recovery. We then compared the cerebral venous structure in both twins, before and after separation surgery using reconstruction of CT venography.
Conclusion: Successful separation of total vertical craniopagus twin where both twin developed well without any neurological deficit is a very rare occurrence. Based on follow up CTV, cerebral venous system underwent re-arrangement to accommodate changing hemodynamic needs after separation surgery. This might give us new insight about cerebral venous system that favors good prognosis for craniopagus twin.

A Comparative Evaluation of the Accuracy of Invasive Point-of-care Hemoglobin Devices.
Ann Afr Med
September 2025
Department of Preventive and Social Medicine, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India.
Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of two devices that measure hemoglobin (Hb) from blood samples taken from small capillary tubes (HemoCue® Hb 301 System) and another from whole blood taken from veins or arteries (Horiba H550) with a laboratory reference analyzer (Beckman Coulter DxH 520).
Subjects And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, in which capillary and venous blood samples were taken from 529 individuals across outpatient and inpatient wards of both genders, with an age range from 7 to 83 years. The accuracy and agreement were statistically evaluated using Lin's concordance correlation coefficient.
Cerebrovascular malformations different from AVMs in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: a systematic review.

Department of Neurosurgery, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Rome, Italy.
Background: Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by abnormal vascular formations across multiple organ systems, including the brain. While arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are well recognized in HHT, non-AVM cerebrovascular malformations remain underreported and poorly understood manifestations of the disease.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted using multiple databases, applying a two-step screening process to exclude studies with insufficient, irrelevant, or incomplete data.
Management of renal cancer with inferior vena cava extension over 30 years: a bi-centric study.
World J Urol
September 2025
Department of Urology and Transplantation Surgery, Nantes University Hospital, Nantes, France.
Purpose: In 5-10% of cases, renal cancer extends into the venous system, particularly the inferior vena cava (IVC), which worsens prognosis. This study aims to assess morbidity, mortality, and oncological outcomes of patients treated surgically for renal cancer with IVC extension over a 30-year period, in two experienced centers.
Materials And Methods: This bicentric, retrospective study analyzed patients treated between 1988 and 2020 for renal cancer involving the IVC.
