On friday mother raju 24 gave birth to twins with the second child being born healthily the mother who did not undergo an ultrasound was believed to be carrying triplets according to doctors it’s possible that the additional limbs of the youngster would be removed through surgery in jaipur after being connected to another baby in the womb an indian woman gave birth to a girl who was born with four legs and
Three hands according to reports raju aged 24 gave birth to twins a boy and a girl at a hospital in tonk rajasthan on friday after a normal delivery in contrast to the son who was born healthy the girl was born with an extra set of legs as well as an additional hand covering her entire chest an abdominal region a baby girl with four legs and three hands has been born in the indian state
Of rajasthan it’s believed that she was born as one of three children but that one of the other children united with her while still in the womb in jaipur doctors believe the boy who’s photographed in hospital will be able to have the extra limbs removed through surgery according to doctors dr raju believes she was carrying triplets but one of the babies has been linked to the tiny girl according to the
Medical professionals dr rohitash mina the surgeon who performed the delivery stated that raju gave birth to the twins spontaneously at approximately 2 46 am in this situation the male child is perfectly normal but the female child is actually a pair of conjoined twins she was suffering from a little respiratory problems after putting her oxygen support we were able to stabilize her vitals
We will refer her to an advanced hospital in jaipur for additional therapy and pediatric surgery said the doctor there’s no danger to either the mother or the child the mother and father of the infant did not get an ultrasound during their pregnancy and were distressed when their daughter was delivered when raju and bahular gujjar found out they were expecting their first child they couldn’t have been happier

Estimates that approximately four thousand three hundred of three point nine million births or roughly point one percent or one in every one thousand will be triplets twins born together are considerably more unusual occurring in around one in every 49,000 to 1 in every 189,000 births with a pie occurrence in africa and southwest asia it’s really terrible that both of these events occurred at the same time
But at least both the mother and the male child are doing well on the other hand we can only hope that the physicians will be able to remove the extra limbs off the tiny angel successfully and safely doctors believe they’ll be able to remove the youngster’s extra limbs through surgery earlier this year two-year-old pakistani twins who were conjoined at the head were successfully separated
Two-year-old twins who were linked at the head underwent successful surgery at a british hospital to separate their skulls brains and blood vessels on tuesday according to the hospital’s announcement the exceedingly difficult surgery on safa and marwa ola who were born in pakistan in january 2017 with a disease known as cranopagius in which their skulls and parts of their brains were linked and entangled took place over a
Period of several days according to david j dunaway who co-led the surgical team that dealt with the twins craniopagus is an exceedingly unusual and complicated disorder according to him the procedure which took place in february was the most intricate such separation his team had ever undertaken to that point being born with twins that are linked at the head but have distinct bodies occurs
In less than one in a million births and having the connection continue into the brain tissue is even more uncommon every year it’s projected that roughly 50 sets of craniopagus twins are born around the world with only about 15 of them expected to live past the first 30 days of life dunaway explained that cutting edge technology such as virtual reality advanced imaging and three-dimensional rapid prototyping assisted in the
Separation the technology allowed the surgeons to use images of the girls brains and blood vessels to plan and practice the surgery in advance reducing the likelihood of complications great ormond street hospital in london was used for the treatments and the girls recovered sufficiently to be discharged from the hospital four months later on July 1st these cutting-edge scientific procedures significantly enhanced the likelihood of
Safa and marwa achieving success according to the great ormond street hospital team their brains were more interwoven than the previous sets of cranopagus twins making it the most difficult separation to do yet despite the fact that it’s been five months since their final operation safa and marwa are making gradual but steady progress according to their doctors who added that an additional period of recovery and rehabilitation is

Forward to returning back home what is polymelia exactly polymelia is a condition in which a kid is born with more limbs than is normal for their age usually five or more in this congenital male formation the extra limb is usually abnormal in shape and size and it may appear as a shrunken limb the presence of supernumerary limbs is defined as the presence of extra limbs that are more in number than the normal
Number the condition is known as double pelvis and four legs when polymelia takes the form of dipigus deformity which is a severe congenital anomaly in which the body axis forks along the abdomen and the lower extremities such as the pelvis and legs become duplicated giving rise to two pelvises and four legs the prevalence of polymelia in the indian population cannot be determined on its own
Nevertheless the overall prevalence of birth defects in india ranges from 61 to 69.9 per 1000 live births because polymelia is such a rare condition it’s possible that it only accounts for a small percentage of all birth defects in the general population thanks for reading.
