Mri brain find: presence of a persistent trigeminal artery and hypoplasia of the basilar artery? what chances my twin could have this too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on twin type: If you are in the denticle twin it is very possible your twin could have the same problem. If you are not and identical twin it is not likely. I would speak to your doctor who did the MRI about whether it would be wise for your identical twins do have a similar study.
