This document discusses nomenclature for bridgehead heterocycles. It notes that the two carbons forming each bridge will always be cis to each other, and both hydrogens will be on the same side. It also notes that both bridgehead positions are on the same carbon, so bicyclo nomenclature cannot be used, but the process is similar - substitute "spiro" for "bicyclo", insert the two bridge lengths, and use the same suffix as before.
