Global rare!When the baby boy was born, four -handed four feet

This is a single -egg twin twins, but one fetus is not developing well. "Drilling" into another fetus body, a "parasitic tire" appears. A few days ago, Shenzhen Children's Hospital took off a complete "parasitic tire" from a newborn. After rehabilitation treatment after surgery, the baby boy was healthy and was discharged smoothly.

The medical team is undergoing surgery.

Parasitic tires found in pregnancy examinations

In January of this year, Ms. Yan (pseudonym) was pregnant with her baby, and the family was happy. However, more than two months later, during her pregnancy examination at the local hospital, the doctor found that there were many abnormalities in her abdomen, and early Tang's screening also suggested high risk. After that, it was found in a further examination that the fetus in the abdomen was twin, but the two fetuses were "sticky", and one of them only saw the lower limbs and hips. After moving to multiple hospitals, doctors' views are more consistent: suspecting parasitic tires.

"Our judgment is also a parasitic, but we think that the child can be kept." The doctor found that the two fetuses were connected on the abdominal wall and connected the diameter of the channel about two centimeters. Among them, parasitic fetuses have no head and heart, but have limbs. After this child is born, it is necessary to carefully evaluate whether there are important internal organs, blood vessels to connect with parasitic tires, and then separate important organs through surgery to deal with blood vessels and remove excess tissue. "We believe that this baby can live normally like other children after surgery." After consulting the experts, Ms. Yan and her family decided to leave their children.

Newborn chest is connected to parasitic tires

On August 22, Ms. Yan gave birth to a baby baby, weighing about 2.9 kg. Soon, the baby was transferred to the intensive care unit. The examination found that in addition to the appearance of the normal baby, the chest was also connected to the parasitic tire. This parasitic like a "big meat group" has no head, no heart, but has a pair of hands, feet and external genitalia, and the external genitalia has urology. Image examination found that the intestinal tubes of the parasitic tire are connected to the child, with their own kidneys, and the blood supply comes from the child; the child's sternum, the lower clavicle lower artery, and the left lobe venous of the hepatic are also connected to the parasitic tire.

In addition to "connecting the flesh and flesh", the heart ultrasound also found that the child has a ventricular septal defect, the oval hole is not closed, the arterial ducts are not closed, and the pulmonary hypertension and other problems. This makes the doctor very worried that in the case of poor heart conditions, this newborn will also supply blood to the extra parasitic tire and increase the burden on the heart. It is necessary to surgery as soon as possible, otherwise children may have life -threatening.

In the end, after 3 hours and 20 minutes of surgery, the operation was successfully completed. After the measurement, the parasite weighs about 260 grams. The baby is recovered well and has been discharged smoothly.

It is reported that parasitic tires are a rare congenital disease, which is also known as "tire in the tire" with a incidence of 1/5 million -1/1 million. At present, there are only more than 200 examples worldwide. China is one of the countries with a high rate of birth defects in newborns. About 900,000 newly born defects are added each year, and an average of one defective child is born every 35 seconds. Doctors call for expectant mothers to pay attention to prenatal screening. If problems are found, they should consult the professional doctors in time.
