Doctors were absolutely bewildered after a woman gave birth to a baby born with two heads, three hands, and two hearts.
According to local media reports, the shocking and extremely rare delivery took place in India recently and is known to be a unique medical condition that not too many medical practitioners come across too often.
The mother named Shaheen Khan revealed how she was unaware that the end result of her delivery would be this unique baby.
Instead, she says that her ultrasound appeared to show the presence of twins and that’s it.
But medics revealed how they were in absolute shock and at a loss for words when the baby arrived.
It was actually two children that were joined by a single torso.
These infants are said to have taken place due to a unique and extremely rare abnormality that is referred to as dicephalic paragus.
This usually takes place in the mother’s womb and on most occasions, is usually termed to be very fatal, commonly resulting in the tragedy of a stillbirth.
But doctors say they have no plans on operating on the baby as the child has successfully managed to survive his initial period.
Sources claim the baby was immediately rushed and admitted to the hospital’s emergency unit in a nearby city called Indore, while the mother is still undergoing treatment at a hospital in Ratlam.
At the moment, reports are unclear whether doctors are treating the case similar to one of the conjoined twins or whether they see the case as a single child as so many theories regarding this case are now appearing online.
“These types of cases are extremely rare and the condition of the child usually remains uncertain, especially the first few days which are considered to be so critical”- mentioned the doctors treating and investigating the case.
