Indian baby is born with an additional HEAD attached to its stomach - but it has no eyes or ears.
An unnamed 21-year-old woman presented herself to doctors at Ram Snehi Hospital, in Jahazpur, after experiencing pain during her pregnancy. She was immediately referred for a sonography scan and an ultrasound to check the health of her unborn child. Tests revealed that the child would be born with extra limbs, which could be a sign of a parasitic twin. Dr Vijiyeta Garg, a gynaecologist who looked after the woman, assured the family that both mother and child could be saved. However, her 24-year-old husband insisted that her life was a priority and the baby should come second. After a successful Caesarean section (main and inset), the family were relieved that both managed to survive.
Indian doctors have given a new lease of life to a baby girl who was born with a head attached to her stomach.
They managed to remove the appendage of her parasitic twin in a complicated four-hour operation at JK Lone Hospital, in Jaipur.
It was feeding off of her blood supply - depriving her of vital nutrients needed for her healthy development, surgeons said.
As well as being born with an extra head, which had no ears and eyes due to being partly developed, the infant also had a third hand.
