Until 2004, Carl and Clarence Aguirre could not sit up, stand straight or look each other in the eye because of their unusual link.

But at a party at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx on Friday, they romped like healthy kids. Carl stuck his hand in the birthday cake. Clarence hung on to his mother, Arlene Aguirre, and ran about with a toy.

No detailed comment on the results of the surgery was expected before yesterday’s news conference in New York.
