Pregnant 12-month-olds miracle op
A 12-month old girl who was carrying her unborn twin brother inside her has survived an operation to remove the foetus, say surgeons.
Kang Mengru had been abandoned by her mother as a three-day-old baby and taken in by her adoptive parents in Zhenzhou, eastern China.
But they were baffled when her belly began to swell until doctors diagnosed she was 'pregnant' with her own twin.
The rare condition - called foetus in fetu - is where a twin becomes trapped inside the developing body of its sibling.
They can survive past birth and keep growing by developing a new umbilical cord directly into their more developed twin's blood supply.
Tiny Kang survived a 10 hour operation at the Zhenzhou People's Hospital and surgeons say she will make a full recovery.
Chief surgeon Dr Zhang Xuedong said: "She will be able to go home at the end of the month, with her mother Wang Guihua and father Kuang Xiqing."
"There was a very real risk of cardiac arrest. The pressure within the child's chest and belly was very great but now she is out of danger," he added.
