Baby Born With Heart OUTSIDE His Chest by ferdvict2(m): 2:15pm On Jun 21, 2015
A baby boy born with his heart on the outside of his
chest has stunned doctors by surviving into his
sixth day.
The child stunned medics to overcome the odds
despite suffering from ectopia cordis – an
incredibly rare heart condition.
The miracle tot’s parents have launched a
desperate appeal to help him live longer after he
was born in Uttar Pradesh state on Wednesday.
Although the chances of him surviving past his
third day was less than one in a million, the as-yet-
unnamed tot is in need of private health care and a
vital but expensive operation.
But parents Priyanka, 24, and Nirbhay Pal, 31, earn
less than £3 a day and have no way of funding the
treatment required for their first child.
Dad Nirbhay said: “The doctors said we should go
to a private hospital and get surgery done.
“But I am a poor man. We can barely afford two
square meals a day. I don’t know what to do. We
are hoping that the government will help us.”
Ectopia cordis can cause the heart to protrude
anywhere from the neck to the lower abdomen,
and affects as few as eight in every one million
births.
Unfortunately, 90 per cent of these are either
stillborn or dying within three days.
