In April this year, a pregnant patient named Mrs.Wang received an ultrasound examination at a hospital in Hubei province at the 25th week of her pregnancy, which revealed an unusual lump in the fetus' stomach.
After careful consultation and exploration, it was found that the head, spine and limbs of the fetus could be seen in the mass, which was suspected to be fetus in fetu.
Also known as parasitic foetus, this is a developmental abnormality in which a mass of tissue resembling a fetus forms inside the body.
With the help of experts, Wang gave birth to her baby boy on August 24. By that time, the parasitic fetus had occupied a third of the baby's abdominal cavity and required immediate surgery.
Four days later, after a thorough preoperative examination, doctors performed an open operation on the newborn boy, which lasted over two hours and was ultimately successful.
One week after the operation, the baby was already able to eat, all functions had recovered well, and was discharged on September 16.
Fetus in fetu is estimated to occur in 1 in 500,000 live births. This was the first time that doctors as the hospital had seen such a complete skull, limbs, and spine.
And now that its all been taken care of, we wish the mother, baby, and the rest of their family the happiest of lives together!
