Girl was mother of her own sibling
May 16, 2008
ATHENS – No one had ever imagined that the stomach ache of a nine year old which was continuing from past many days could turn out to be due to her embryonic twin that she was carrying. This was stated by doctors in central Greece on Thursday.
Doctors at Larissa General Hospital properly examined the girl and later removed the growth surgically from her stomach. The embryo was about six centimeters long.
“They could see on the right side that her belly was swollen, but they couldn’t suspect that this tumor would hide an embryo,” hospital director Iakovos Brouskelis commented.
“The surgery was performed with full success and girl is now fine and has made a full recovery, he added.
Andreas Markou, HOD of the pediatric department said “the embryo was a formed fetus with a head, hair and eyes, but no brain or umbilical cord”.
Markou said such cases are seen one of 500,000 live births.
The girl’s family did not want to be recognized; hospital officials said and hence no identification of the girl and her family was revealed.
