Abstract
Craniopagus is a rare and intriguing condition with an incidence of one in 2.5 million births. The chance of a neurosurgeon seeing a case in a working lifetime is unlikely. The chances of two cases from the same community within 12 months are remote in the extreme. The authors present a second case of craniopagus born and separated in Brisbane, Australia, in 2001 and discuss the intricacies of surgical separation and the lessons learned.
