The Baby With Two Heads: Mother Gives Birth To Conjoined Twins by cecegorgeous(f): 11:05pm On Nov 13, 2015 |
A Bangladeshi mother has given birth to conjoined twins -
with two heads but one body. The baby was born on
Wednesday, November 11, in Dhaka, Bangladesh by
Caesarean section and is currently receiving post-natal
care at the government hospital. A doctor at the Standard
Hospital of Total Healthcare where the baby was born, Abu
Kawsar said that tests showed the baby has only one set of
vital body organs but two heads.
"Except for having two heads, the newborn has the rest of
her organs and limbs like a normal newborn." he said.
The baby’s condition could thus be an example of the very
rare congenital condition calleddicephalic parapagus where
the baby is born with two heads but only one body.
Although, people often think of a baby with the condition as
a single person with two heads, the baby is actually a set of
twins who share the same body and vital organs.
The baby's father Mia Jamal, a farm labourer said he is
happy mother and child are OK. "She has two fully
developed heads. She is eating with two mouths and
breathing with two noses. Still, I thank Allah that she and
the mother are now OK,' he told the news agency AFP.
