In Colombia, doctors removed an embryo from the belly of a newborn baby. It is reported by the local newspaper La Cronica del Quindio. 33-year-old Monica Vega from the Colombian city of Barranquilla underwent a routine examination in her ninth month of pregnancy (35 weeks), during which doctors noticed a suspicious deformation of the child's body. It turned out that there was an intrauterine fetus in the baby's belly.
February 22, 37 weeks pregnant, a woman gave birth to a daughter named Itzamara (Itzamara) using a caesarean section, writes the Daily Mail. The newborn was operated on in a timely manner and a 45-mm embryo weighing 14 grams was removed from her abdomen. By that time, the twin had formed arms and legs, but the heart and brain were missing. Doctors claim that this case was unique in the history of their practice.
As a rule, the child's condition becomes known only after his birth, however, doctors managed to establish a deviation during pregnancy itself. A month later, Itzamara's health condition returned to normal. Now her life is not in danger. The fetus in the fetus is the rarest anomaly that occurs on average in one woman in childbirth out of half a million. According to one hypothesis, an embryo in an embryo is a twin parasite that accidentally entered the body of a twin host and is unable to survive on its own.
