Ultrafast magnetic resonance imaging of cephalopagus conjoined twins.
BACKGROUND
Ultrafast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used successfully in antenatal diagnosis.


METHODS
We report a case of cephalopagus conjoined twins in which ultrafast MRI clarified how the twins were united, especially the neuroanatomy, and helped with antenatal counseling.


CONCLUSIONS
Ultrafast MRI can provide superior image quality to two-dimensional ultrasonography and should be considered an adjunct to ultrasound for antenatal characterization of some anomalies.
