Rarest of rare: 'Foetus-in-foetus’ baby delivered at Karnataka hospital
Karnataka Medical College and Research Institute successfully delivered a baby with a rare "foetus-to-foetus" condition on September 23. An inner, undeveloped foetus, described as a parasitic twin with rudimentary spine and skull, was found within the newborn. Both mother and baby are stable. Doctors deem this a "rarest of the rare" case, planning further tests and documentation for medical journals.
