biomedicalephemera: Skiagraph (X-ray) of a dicephalus dibrachius twins Using the roots “di-“, “-cephalus”, and “-brachius”, the description of this x-ray is made clearer:Di-: two-cephal-: pertaining to the head-brachi-: pertaining to the arms From these, a description of “two-headed two-arms” is now known. Dicephalic dibrachius twins are also known as “dicephalic parapagus (dibrachial)”, with parapagus referring to the fused pelvis that is shared between the two. Dicephalic parapagus twins can also be “tribrachial” (three-armed) or “tetrabrachial” (four-armed), depending upon how far down the torso the conjoining begins. The Principles of Pathology. J.
