The baby with two heads: Mother gives birth to conjoined twins
A Bangladeshi mother has given birth to conjoined twins – with
two heads but one body. The baby was born on Wednesday,
November 11, in Dhaka, Bangladesh by Caesarean section and is
currently receiving post-natal care at the government hospital. A
doctor at the Standard Hospital of Total Healthcare where the
baby was born, Abu Kawsar said that tests showed the baby has
only one set of vital body organs but two heads.
“Except for having two heads, the newborn has the rest of her
organs and limbs like a normal newborn.” he said.
The baby’s condition could thus be an example of the very rare
congenital condition calleddicephalic parapagus where the baby
is born with two heads but only one body. Although, people
often think of a baby with the condition as a single person with
two heads, the baby is actually a set of twins who share the
same body and vital organs.
The baby’s father Mia Jamal, a farm labourer said he is happy
mother and child are OK. “She has two fully developed heads.
She is eating with two mouths and breathing with two noses.
Still, I thank Allah that she and the mother are now OK,’
