Weird Parasitic Twin

Ten-month-old Manar Maged is in stable condition after surgeons removed her parasitic twin yesterday at a hospital north of Cairo.

Manar was born with a rare condition known as craniopagus parasiticus, which occurs when an embryo begins to split into identical twins but fails to complete the process. One of the conjoined twins fails to develop fully in the womb.

As in the case of a girl who died after similar surgery in the Dominican Republic a year ago, the second twin had developed no body. The head that was removed from Manar had been capable of smiling and blinking but not independent life, doctors said.

Two-head girl dies of infection
march 2006

An Egyptian girl who survived an operation to remove a second head has died from a brain infection.

Manar Maged suffered from a rare condition that occurs when an embryo splits in the womb but does not develop fully into a twin.

Her second head could smile and blink, but could not survive independently.

Doctors in Cairo operated on Manar in February 2005, when she was aged just 10 months. She died, aged two, after being rushed to hospital with a fever.

"She was admitted to hospital in a very bad way," said Abla el-Alfy, a consultant paediatrician involved in her care.

"She had a very severe infection in the brain and she wasn't able to fight it."

Doctors at the Benha Children's Hospital had regarded the fact that Manar survived the initial 13-hour operation as a success.

Her condition improved after the surgery, but she continued to suffer regular infections, Mr Alfy told Reuters news agency.

The second head contained eyes, a nose and a mouth, but was not connected to any internal organs and whether it was capable of independent thought is unclear.

Known as craniopagus parasiticus, the condition is one of the rarest forms of birth defects.

Re: Weird Parasitic Twin

There was an Indian fellow touring the sideshow circuit in the 1800's who had a parasitic twin hanging from his chest. Had arms and legs and a penis, and a tendency to urinate all over the poor guy when he least expected it.
