Anaesthetic experiences in three sets of conjoined twins in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital

We describe the anaesthetic management for magnetic resonance image scanning, angiography and surgical operations in three sets of conjoined twins (ischiopagus, throracopagus and pygopagus) in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital during 1996–2002. The anaesthetic technique and associated problems are summarized.
