In India, two fetuses were removed from a baby’s abdomen
A rare case has been observed in the medical field in India. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
At Fortis-Gurgaon hospital, two parasitic twins were surgically removed from the abdomen of a one-month-old baby. The baby was taken to doctors on July 27 due to difficulty feeding and discomfort.
Examination revealed a strange mass in the abdomen, but it was later found not to be a simple tumor, rather remnants of two incompletely formed fetuses. Specialists call this condition “fetus in fetu,” which means “a fetus within a fetus.”
This anomaly is very rare and occurs in only one out of every 500,000 live births. This process happens in the early stages of pregnancy: one fetus embeds itself into the body of the other and develops inside it.
It was discovered that the mother was initially pregnant with triplets, but one of the fetuses absorbed the others and developed parasitically inside them. Worldwide, fewer than 300 such cases have been recorded, with only 10 percent involving two parasitic fetuses.
For this reason, this case in India is considered even more unique. The human body still holds many mysteries.
Such cases once again confirm the complexity and astonishing aspects of life. Have you heard of such events before?
