Baby Born Pregnant With Twins by anisylva(m): 6:46pm On Feb 10, 2015 |
A baby girl born to mainland Chinese parents was revealed to be born "pregnant" with twins at a Hong Kong hospital. The baby girl born at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kowloon, Hong Kong last year was initially believed to have two tumours but doctors later discovered the tumours were in fact twin foetuses. The foetuses were found to be at 8 to 10 weeks of gestation. Each foetus had four limbs, a spine, rib cage, intestines, anus and an umbilical cord connected to a single placenta-like mass. One of the foetuses weighed 14.2 grams and the other, 9.3 grams. Doctors had to perform a surgery on the baby girl at three weeks to remove the foetuses. The girl was discharged from the hospital eight days following the surgery. The condition was revealed to be an abnormality called the 'fetus in fetu' condition. 'Fetus in fetu' affects 1 in 500,000 births globally and a total of 200 cases have so far been reported in literature. The birth defect, reported first in the Hong Kong Medical Journal, is believed to be linked to the mother having multiple abortions though more evidence is required to confirm the theory. "It was almost impossible to detect during the prenatal check-up, as the embryo inside the baby was too small," said Dr. Yu Kai-man, a specialist in obstetrics and gyneacology. "Since it is impossible for the little girl to have conceived the pregnancy on her own, the fertilization of the twin fetuses, of course, belongs to her parents, which has gone to the wrong place." While the exact factors leading to the 'fetus in fetu' abnormality remain unknown, the World Health Organisation has classified the condition a variant of mature teratoma, a type of cancer. www.ibtimes.co.uk/hong-kong-baby-born-pregnant-twins-1487270 |
