Baby, pregnant with twins

Whether the tumor, whether beremennostNeveroyatny case occurred in Hong Kong - a girl, was born pregnant with twins.

The child's condition, known medically as "the embryo is in the embryo," incredibly rare. It is still unknown how this could happen.

"Something's going on at the beginning of the pregnancy, which we simply can not explain, - said Dr. Dreyon Birch, an obstetrician-gynecologist from Pittsburgh. - This is one of the medical mysteries ».

The World Health Organization believes that the tiny fruits found in the body of the infant, are a type of tumor or teratoma instead of the normal developing fetus.

But the little girl's physicians believe that the tiny embryos could be the remains of twins, which was absorbed during pregnancy.





NezamechennyeKogda only started having problems with the health of newborns, it was transferred to Dr. Yu Kai-mana, obstetricians and gynecologists working in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong, the suspected presence of a tumor in the infant. Perinatal ultrasound found in the body weight of the child's unusual, but the doctors could not understand it. When she was only 3 weeks, he underwent surgery, and surgeons found two fetuses that were between her liver and kidneys.

One fetus weighed 9 grams of 3, the other - 14 2 grams, which corresponds to about 8-10 weeks of gestation. Each embryo was attached to the placenta, umbilical cord girl.

"It is obvious that the baby was too small to bear her own child. Most likely, it was one of triplets. Then, for unknown reasons, the fruits were absorbed by the remaining child. But the embryos did not cease to grow, develop normally but could not, "- as he said Burch.

Vanishing Twins? "The embryo is in the embryo" may actually be a simple phenomenon known as the "twin syndrome disappeared" - said Birch.

In the medical literature there are 200 such cases. In 2006 in Pakistan, from old girl removed two fetuses. This was reported on NBC News. And in 2011 during major surgery removed the fruit of 18-year-old boy, who wore it in yourself, not even knowing about it.

In rare cases, the fruit die in the womb, calcined and turn into stone. In August 2014, India held an operation to remove lithopedion or petrified child, who for 36 years was of a woman. In 60 years, she went to the doctor with complaints of abdominal pain, and then all was discovered.
