A girl barely one year old was taken to the doctor because of a strange growth of her head and a worrying delay in her motor development. But what initially seemed like a severe case of hydrocephalus ended up becoming one of the most shocking medical findings ever documented. 😱
After conducting tests, the specialists discovered an extremely unusual mass inside her brain that had a spinal column, a femur, and even small finger-like buds.
In other words, it was an extremely rare case of “fetus in fetu” intracranial: a partially developed twin that had grown inside the girl’s brain.
Although the surgeons managed to remove the mass successfully, the little girl suffered seizures after the operation and died 12 days after the procedure. 💔
