Man Give Birth to Parasitic ‘Twin’ With Growing Teeth. image001.pngIMG-20160106-WA0017.jpg
A teenager who had chronic stomach pains was disturbed to find out he
was growing a parasitic ‘twin’ with hair, bone and teeth inside him.
Narendra Kumar, 18, was taken to hospital after suffering vomiting, weight loss and pain.
After examining him doctors found the grim discovery – a 2.5kg mass
of bone, hair and teeth that had formed an umbilical cord-like structure
inside Narendra’s abdomen.
The diagnosis was ‘foetus in fetu’, a rare condition which develops
during pregnancy with twins – where one foetus enters the other through
the umbilical cord, and lives there as a parasite.
Doctors at the Swaroop Narayan Hospital in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh,
told Narendra that the parasite had lived and grown inside his body
since his birth.
Dr Rajeev Singh told MailOnline that surgeons only found the ‘twin’ when they operated on Narendra on Monday.
‘Technically, the foetus was alive and was growing due to metabolic activity in his body,’ he said. IMG-20160106-WA0017.jpg
‘In the three-hour-long surgery, we removed a mass of malformed baby
which had hair, teeth, a poorly developed head, a bony structure of
chest and spine, with lots of yellowish amniotic-like fluid in the sac.’
