Plus qu’un siamois, un alien !
Titem | 17 mai 2008On en trouve parfois des choses étranges dans les journaux… Toujours dans le Cyprus Mail du vendredi 16 mai ; je connaissais les jumeaux siamois, mais ça je n’en avais encore jamais entendu parler. Pourtant il paraît que ce n’est pas si exceptionnel que cela.
Girl’s twin found inside her
A girl of nine who went to hospital in Greece suffering for abdominal pains was found to be carrying her embryonic twin. Andreas Markou, head of the paediatric department at Larissa hospital, said that doctors examining the girl found she had a growth. They operated to remove what they believed to be a tumour. But a biopsy showed it was a six-centimetre long embryo with hair, eyes and a spine but no brain. The hospital said the girl’s family does not want to be identified. They said the girl was doing well after the surgery. Cases where one of a set of twins absorbs the other in the womb occur in one in every 500.000 live births.
