In Hong Kong, a baby girl was born with what doctors believed to be two fetuses. A CNN article reports, “Each one had four limbs, skin, a ribcage, intestines and primitive brain tissue, according to a study published this month in the Hong Kong Medical Journal.”
The condition, called “fetus-in-fetu,” is estimated to occur twice in every one million births, yet has only been recorded a mere 200 times in medical history. Because it’s such a rare condition, doctors’ knowledge of the condition is limited.
As of this week, the baby girl has successfully undergone surgery to remove the fetuses. Check out the video to learn more about this amazing medical phenomenon.
