A baby boy who was born with his dead twin inside him, has been operated upon. Doctors were astonished when they discovered a newborn boy was ‘pregnant’ – with his own twin brother. The half-formed baby was complete with a brain, arm and legs. They successfully operated to remove the 7cm mass which they now suspect was a rare ‘Fetus in fetu’ twin pregnancy – one of less than 200 ever recorded in the world.
The 19-year-old mother and her son from Mumbra, in Thane city near Mumbai in India, are now both healthy and doing well.
