Half-formed, seven centimeters in length and weighing only 150 grams, with a brain and limbs, the fetus had formed in his twin brother's abdomen in a case that has astonished India's medical fraternity.

After his birth on July 20 at Bilal Hospital in Thane, near Mumbai, pediatric surgeons at a separate hospital operated on July 25 to remove the unborn twin.

"Both the mother and baby are doing fine now. The mother will begin feeding him soon," gynecologist Neena Nichlani told the Times of India.

"The mother had conceived twins, but here a twin got enveloped in the body of another twin, leading to a condition of a host baby and its parasitic twin, who grew up to 13 weeks and then stopped," she said.

Only 100-200 cases of this kind have been documented worldwide. A fetus-in-fetu is estimated to occur once in every 500,000 live births.

Perfect first reply.

I know that vanishing twin syndrome is very very common. Most of us had a twin in the first 2-5 weeks but we absorb them in the womb. I wonder if this is something similar to that but on another level, considering being within and all.
