In a rare and complex surgery, AIIMS doctors in Bhopal have successfully removed the three -year -old girl’s skull and the parasitic twins sticking to the neck in a complex and rare surgery. Doctors say that the child is now getting well well.

A parasitic twin is a type of joint twin where a fetus stops developing, but is connected to its twin. The development of other twins continues, but usually its parasitic twins are produced with organs, organs, or other tissue structures that are still connected.

The girl – who had a muscular bulge behind her neck since birth – was sent to the hospital’s neurosurgery department, where her MRI and CT scan were done before surgery. After the scan, doctors found an incomplete body legs and pelvic bones attached to its skull and spine – a delicate part that connects the brain to the spinal cord.

What is parasitic twin?

A parasitic twin never develops completely, but is connected to the host, which continues to develop until birth. A parasitic twins occur quickly in the development of the fetus – so its organs or organs may be almost unfamiliar.

Major twin medical complications are at high risk and require medical treatment after birth.

Also known as the fetus in the fetus, a parasitic twin is a type of combined twin – which is for at least 10 percent of all combined twins. United twins are two fully developed embryos that are connected at birth. According to experts, combined twins share one or more organs and are usually attached to their back, chest or torso. A parasitic twin is a fully developed embryo and an underdeveloped fetus.

The underdeveloped embryo is nonfunctional and does not avoid pregnancy.

What is the reason for the status of parasitic twins?

Doctors say that no one is completely certain why this happens, researchers point to two main principles – fragmentation theory and fusion theory. The fragmentation theory describes an incomplete separation of a fertilized egg, which is completely separated, resulting in uniform twins. If a fertilized egg is partially divided, these twins become twins. However, a parasitic twin occurs when a convenor stops developing one of the embryos in the twin.

Fusion theory suggests that during development, two different fertilized eggs grow or fuse together. A parasitic twin occurs when one of these two fertilized eggs stops developing, but is connected to its twin.
