Three deciding what’s for dinner.
Actually, looks like an easy separation.
Probably. However, ancient tales in that area describe a war that sounds a lot like a nuclear war.
Shocking! How dare they assume that all 3 identify as female
You took the words out of my mouth.
Praying that the child was born by C-section.... otherwise... that poor mom!!!
Pollution.
So, from what I can see, it’s a misshapen head, that looks like it could have tried to split early on in the womb into triplets. There are no extra arms/torsos/legs, etc., and I do not see extra eyes, nose, ears, mouth, etc.
I wonder if the one baby has brain matter all connected, in the three craniums, and if so, what would happen if doctors removed the other two?
Medically speaking, it’s a very interesting case.
Speaking as a parent, my prayers are with this family.
Right. If two heads are better than one, imagine how great it would be to have three!
This is tragic.
I join you in your prayers for the family, the child, and the medical specialists.
From the article:
***”This is a very rare medical condition,” explained Rajesh Thakur, Chief Medical Superintendent, District Hospital, Etah.
“The child’s body has not fully developed. We will perform an MRI scan and then perform a surgery to separate the ‘heads’”.
Although rare, there have been other reports of babies being born with more than one head, especially in African nations.
This type of birth defect is referred to as an encephalocele.
According to the NHS, an encephalocele is a rare congenital type of neural tube defect where part of the skull has not formed properly.
So a portion of brain tissue and associated structures are outside the skull.
According to reports, babies diagnosed with an encephalocele have a 55 per cent survival rate.
The long-term prognosis for survival becomes less likely if there are other complications, such as associated defects or syndromes or if brain tissue protrudes into the sac.
Approximately 75 per cent of these infants who do survive have varying degrees of mental deficit.***
Extra arms? Name her Shiva, and move on.
Tell mom, no more drinking out of the Ganges, holy or not.
