The babies have separate brains but share the sagittal sinus, the main vessel that drains blood from the brain.
2.
The most important vein, the sagittal sinus, will be left for a third and even trickier procedure, Marion said.
3.
The superior sagittal sinus divides into two parts called the transverse sinuses where the falx cerebri meets the tentorium cerebelli.
4.
The most difficult surgery will involve the sagittal sinus, a major vein that drains blood from the brain to the heart.
5.
The trickiest maneuver may be severing a major vein called the sagittal sinus, which drains blood from the brain to the heart.
6.
It receives blood from the inferior sagittal sinus, great cerebral vein, posterior cerebral veins, superior cerebellar veins and veins from the falx cerebri.
7.
The boys, Clarence and Carl Aguirre, from Manila, are joined at the top of the head and share a major vein called the sagittal sinus.
8.
This vein merges with the inferior sagittal sinus to form the straight sinus which then joins the superficial venous system mentioned above at the confluence of sinuses.
9.
This foramen varies in size in different subjects, and is frequently impervious; when open, it transmits the emissary vein from the nose to the superior sagittal sinus.
10.
Carl and Clarence, like most twins joined at the head, were born sharing the large vein, which is called a sagittal sinus, at the back of the skull.
