Fetus in bizarre case: A shocking case has come to light from Sagar in Madhya Pradesh. Here a woman has given birth to a child in the hospital. The shocking thing is that when the doctors examined him, they found that a newborn baby was also moving inside that child. However, the doctors already knew about it when they did an ultrasound of a pregnant woman. In medical language, this condition is called fetus in fetus.
Being a rare case, the newborn has been admitted to the SNCU ward of the district hospital. The only way to save the child's life is surgery. There is a discussion among doctors about this. According to the doctor, such a case is seen in one woman out of ten lakhs.
There's a newborn inside another newborn
Dr. PP Singh, head of the radiology department of Bundelkhand Medical College, said that about 15 days ago, a 9-month pregnant woman from Kesli came to his private clinic for a checkup. During the checkup, there was a suspicion of a child in the woman's womb.
On this, the woman was called to the medical college for follow-up. During special examination here, it was found that the woman had a second child or teratoma in her womb. The woman was advised to deliver the baby in the medical college itself. Since she was brought by an ASHA worker, she took her back to Kesli Community Health Center. Here the woman had a normal delivery.
One such case occurs in every 5 lakh cases
According to Dr. PP Singh, he has seen this case for the first time in his life. Such cases are rare in medical history. One such case occurs in every 5 lakh cases. However, only 200 such cases have been reported in the world so far, which are available online in the literature. This pregnant woman came to us in the eighth and ninth month.
After the ultrasound of the baby, it was found that a lump was seen in the baby's stomach. In which calcium was seen deposited but when we saw the Doppler, bleeding had started. When this happens, the possibilities are first determined by the seizure and the fetus. In this, a baby is moving inside the baby.
In medical terms, this condition is called fetus in fetus
This seemed to be the first possibility because there is a strong DD in her DD which is a mature teratoma which is a type of tumor. In this we tried to clear the shadow behind the calcification, but there were two possibilities, one is there could be a baby inside the baby and the second possibility of tumor. After this, the baby was delivered in a normal way. The CT scan report of the innocent baby has come. But the shadow which was seen earlier in the sonography was not seen. The relatively organized calcification that was visible indicated a high possibility of a baby.
