Related Conditions
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:
“The question of place and climate is most closely related to the question of nutrition. Nobody is free to live everywhere; and whoever has to solve great problems that challenge all his strength actually has a very restricted choice in this matter. The influence of climate on our metabolism, its retardation, its acceleration, goes so far that a mistaken choice of place and climate can not only estrange a man from his task but can actually keep it from him: he never gets to see it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“To get it right, be born with luck or else make it. Never give up. Get the knack of getting people to help you and also pitch in yourself. A little money helps, but what really gets it right is to never—I repeat—never under any conditions face the facts.”
—Ruth Gordon (1896–1985)
