9 year old girl has dead twin in stomach[views:2097][posts:13]_______________________________ [May 15,2008 1:56pm - Pires ""] 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 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. |

Her twin was the son's real mother, not her....fucked up |

I guess it's the rarest twin mishap that can happen. The nurse tried saying that maybe the baby got mixed up at birth...but the blood matched the dad. So they tested all kinds of different parts of her body and found two different sets of dna in her. Someone then asked if she believed that she had two souls. |
