The condition or state of having two heads or head-like structures on a single body.
From Greek 'diplos' (double) + 'kephale' (head) + '-ia' (condition). The suffix '-ia' creates an abstract noun describing the medical or biological condition itself.
Diplocephaly appears occasionally in reptiles and invertebrates, and studying these natural variations helps scientists understand embryonic development and how bodies organize during growth.
