Woman Delivers Baby With Anencephaly In Kaduna by Maxymilliano(m): 10:57am On Jul 10, 2013


The latest assertion to the popular saying, “Wonders never end,” has just been recorded in Kaduna State where a young Fulani woman gave birth to a baby with amonkey-like face.

The woman, an indigene of SabonIceh village, gave birth to the monkey-like creature Monday morning at the General hospital Kagarko, Kagarko local government, after several hours of labour.

One of the nurses who attended tothe woman on arrival, told LEADERSHIP that, “the pregnant woman was rushed to the hospital at about 7:30 am, Monday. And we immediately took her into the labour room.”

“The woman came in through the out-patient department (OPD) after seeing the doctor on call and I decided to rupture her because the cervix was fully dilated. After I ruptured her, fluid measuring about 26 litres gushed out after which she started bleeding. All this time, the baby was still in the womb.”

“When the bleeding persisted, I sent for the medical director and when she came, we went into the theatre to operate on the woman. In the process, the baby started coming out with the legs. So, the medical director asked me to stop and allow her to deliver the baby by herself.

Speaking further, the nurse said, “She delivered the baby breech and when it came out, we discovered that it was an abnormal baby. It was half human and half animal. We lost the baby shortly after delivery.

The nurse who spoke on condition of anonymity said the baby weighed four kilograms which is healthy but its legs and ears were like those of a monkey, adding thatthe mother of the baby is currently receiving treatment at the hospital.

“She lost a lot of blood so we have to give her blood,” the nurse added.

Anencephaly is a condition that prevents the normal
development of the brain and the bones of the skull. This
condition results when a structure called the neural tube
fails to close during the first few weeks of embryonic
development. The neural tube is a layer of cells that
ultimately develops into the brain and spinal cord. Because
anencephaly is caused by abnormalities of the neural tube, it
is classified as a neural tube defect (NTD).
If the neural tube fails to close properly, the developing
brain and spinal cord are exposed to the amniotic fluid that
surrounds the fetus. This exposure causes the nervous
system tissue to break down (degenerate). As a result, people
with anencephaly are missing large parts of the brain called
the cerebrum and cerebellum. These brain regions are
necessary for thinking, hearing, vision, emotion, and
coordinating movement. The bones of the skull are also
missing or incompletely formed.
Almost all babies with anencephaly die before birth or within
a few hours or days after birth.

If proper antenatal care was given to the mother, the diagnosis would have been made in utero by routine obstetric ultrasound scan.

Seems the OP does not know the meaning of Anencephaly, Anencephaly is when the absence of the brain and a very large part of the skull and not when the baby looks like a monkey.

If you had bothered to read the post well, u would have noticed that the 'nurse' probably 'nurse Eliza' narrated the incidence.
The doctor was not mentioned to have been perplexed by the finding.
