However, in this case it was often difficult to interpret spatial anatomical details and relationships between congenital defects only using conventional imaging tools (Figure 1A). Therefore, advanced 3D reconstructions were applied to better represent the anatomical structures involved in the congenital fusion (Figure 1B).
