Today we bring you a report about one of the most rare and surprising cases of twins. It's about the twins-parasites or “fetus in fetu”, in the story of a boy who carried him inside Until the age of seven.
Generally these cases are diagnosed during the first years of life or even during pregnancy, but since they are very rare they can also go unnoticed until the stunted fetus grows. However, precisely because of their strangeness they usually jump to the media, and we already talk to you here about the case of a “pregnant” girl of her sister.
The video shows a report by Discovery Channel about the case of little Ajhlan N'Jian, who for seven years lived with his brother's deformed fetus in the womb, in Kazakhstan (Central Asia).
I have to warn that the images that appear at the end, with doctors dissecting and analyzing that mass report but with anthropomorphic characteristics, they can hurt the sensitivity. I really don't know if it will be a recreation, but it's impressive to see what the hands, legs or head might have been.
For this child the suffering began when at two years the belly was already bulging. Ajhlan's parents let the years go by with an inexplicable passivity: they didn't think it was worrisome, they would only be parasites and it would pass over time. There is a video of the little boy before the fetus is removed, and he really sees a belly so bulky that it seems impossible that nobody would worry about taking him to the doctor before.
Until at age seven, at school, he suffered severe pain and the teachers took him to the hospital, where doctors did not give credit to what they would find in the womb.
It was an atrophied twin that has not come to form properly, but its tissues have been growing because they benefit from the circulation of their brother, like a parasite. There is hair, there is a cranial cavity, there are hands with nails and legs, all deformed and without internal functioning.
As we see, it is not a unique case, although this one surprises by the age of the child and the volume of the fetus inside. The news jumped in 2003 and then the report we see in this video that gathers the most impressive case of twin-parasite or “fetus in fetu” known.
