rootbear75 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 ATHENS, Greece -- A 9-year-old girl who went to hospital in central Greece suffering from stomach pains was found to be carrying her embryonic twin, doctors said Thursday. Doctors at Larissa General Hospital examined the girl and surgically removed a growth they later discovered was an embryo about six centimeters (more than two inches) long. "They could see on the right side that her belly was swollen, but they couldn't suspect that this tumor would hide an embryo," hospital director Iakovos Brouskelis said. The girl has made a full recovery, he said. Andreas Markou, head of the hospital's pediatric department, said the embryo was a formed fetus with a head, hair and eyes, but no brain or umbilical cord. Markou said cases where one of a set of twins absorbs the other in the womb occurs in one of 500,000 live births. The girl's family did not want to be identified, hospital officials said.http://www.myfoxdc.com/myfox/pages/News/De...mp;pageId=3.5.1
»Purge Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 There was a similar case like this where a man was carrying his twin's embryo also inside his stomach. I believe it was the "pregnant man" hoax or something.
Confess Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 I've got a friend that called me crying in the night because she had killed her twin. She went in to find out what was causing her to not have children. It killed both of her uteri.
Dav Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 very strange condition. Amazingly rare as well though thankfully. media seems to love stuff like this yhough, would make you think these freak events are more common then they actually are.
Bak Posted May 25, 2008 Report Posted May 25, 2008 i think eating your twin while in the womb is a manly action
