Rare Conjoined Twins Case Reported in Indore, India
A baby in Indore, India, was born with a rare condition called conjoined twins, specifically Parapagus Dicephalus, where the baby has two heads sharing one body.
This means the baby has two heads, two hearts, four arms, and two legs, but shares one chest and abdomen.
The baby is currently in the hospital and is being watched closely by doctors.
Sadly, babies born like this have very small chances of surviving.
This type of birth is extremely rare, happening in only a tiny fraction of births.
Another similar case happened last month, but that baby did not survive.
A baby girl with two heads, two hearts, four arms, and two legs was born in Indore.
The baby shares one chest and abdomen, and is in the PICU on oxygen support.
Doctors observed that when one head cries, the other's organs react.
The baby was delivered via C-section on August 13 at MTH hospital.
Survival chances for such cases, known as Parapagus Dicephalus, are less than 0.1%.
