Craniopagus Parasiticus

This little girl Egyptian Girl is Manar Maged. She suffered a rare birth defect called Carniopagus Parasiticus. A rare birth defect where the embryo begins to split into an identical twin but the process is not completed leaving the other twin basically in an unfinished state. Dear Manar did have a separation operation (which was successful) but later died of a brain infection. Her unfinished twin still blinked, smiled, looked around and slept independant of her sister. She had a fully functional second brain. This is a very rare birth defect and Manar is the only case to have survived the operation up until the brain infection.

I need some of these!!!

I would like to find the inventor of these wonderful knitted creations!! They are fantastic.

Special Baby

This special baby was born in Charikot headquarters of Dolakha district. It weighed 2kg and was born a little later than the average nine month gestation period. Its mother was perfectly healthy, suffering no ailments. Having had two normal daughters already, her husband is very happy his wife is ok. The small town was extremely curious about the baby and many hurried to catch a glimpse, police were called in to control the villagers.

A nurse attending the birth mentioned that there was nothing that could be done to save the baby. I have not been able to find a medical term for the reasons of a baby born with these features. I am still researching. At a guess it may be Anencephaly (absence of the scalp, forebrain etc. The cephalic end of the neural tube doesn't close. Causing eyes to protrude from the head without the skull and a sunken neck) Babies may be stillborn or have basic abilities to breath but often die hours after birth. Unable to ever gain consciousness.
