In addition to craniopagus parasiticus, there are a few other conditions involving a child, or animal, being born with two heads or faces. These conditions, which all fall under the congenital cephalic disorder category, are commonly mistaken as craniopagus parasiticus, and sometimes the terms are used improperly. Two common mix ups with craniopagus parasiticus include Polycephaly and Diprosopus.

Famous quotes containing the words related and/or conditions:
“Women stand related to beautiful nature around us, and the enamoured youth mixes their form with moon and stars, with woods and waters, and the pomp of summer. They heal us of awkwardness by their words and looks. We observe their intellectual influence on the most serious student. They refine and clear his mind: teach him to put a pleasing method into what is dry and difficult.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Under all conditions well-organized violence seems to him the shortest distance between two points.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
