New born baby pregnant with twins

A baby girl born in Hong Kong was found to be 'pregnant' with twins.

The girl, born to Chinese mainland parents in Queen Elizabeth Hospital had to undergo surgery at just three weeks old to remove them.

The foetuses, 8 to 10 weeks gestated, had legs, arms, a spine, rib cage and intestines. Both were also covered in skin.

One weighed 14.2 grammes and the other 9.3 grammes - and each had an umbilical cord.

The surgery was successful and the girl was discharged from hospital eight days later.

The extraordinary medical marvel was detailed in the latest issue of the Hong Kong Medical Journal.

According to the report, the condition which is known as foetus in foetu occurs in just one in 500,000 births in the world.

According to UK Mirror, it is believed that this case is the first to be documented in the city.
