A baby with two heads born in Brazil

Incredible but true. A Brazilian woman has reportedly given birth to a two-headed baby boy. The doctors assured that the newborn was in good health. Glad and proud mother Maria de Nazare has decided to name her son Emanoel and Jesus. The baby boy is surviving healthy with two heads a heart, lungs, liver and pelvis.

The doctors who scanned the mother found the baby with two heads and then they realized that normal birth would be a great risk both for mother and baby. They opted alternative option of caesarean."The caesarean took an hour because the baby was in sitting down condition.

Doctors said that they were in pressure and took this as a challenge. Since the hospital was a small interior hospital and had not all the facilities available needed for a new born, they considered this as a challenge and finally saved the mother and child.

This was not a rare case in medical history but in such previous cases one head used to remove by operation in order to save the child. The two heads not were in same condition, one was less developed. This is obviously a rare case and the doctors took a real challenge to save the child with two heads.
