Maria de Nazare (25 years), young mothers from the state of Para in northern Brazil two-headed babies on Monday (12/19/2011). The baby has two heads and two vertebrae, but only have one liver, heart and pelvic bones.
Conjoined twins are rare birth weight was 4.5 kg in Anajas Hospital. There are no signs of abnormalities before birth, because her mother who lived in the suburbs does not conduct during pregnancy.
Midwives who cared for him just to say, Mary will give birth to twins. But when going to give birth, the midwife referred her to the hospital because young mothers are experiencing severe pain in the abdomen and that's when the new discovered abnormalities in the fetus.
"When we scan, we saw the baby had two heads and very unsafe for normal childbirth. With just a caesarean section, it took an hour for baby sitting position," said Claudionor Assis de Vasconcelos, director of the RS Anajas as quoted from Dailymail, Thursday (12/22/2011).
Because the baby had two heads, each of which has its own brain, then the next step becomes more difficult both for physicians and parents. Both are equally brain function properly, making it difficult to determine where the head should be separated.
"We have not thought about the possibility of separation surgery. Today we had in mind is to keep the baby's condition remained stable while continuing to monitor developments," said another doctor who co-handle, Neila Dahas who is also a director at the Hospital Santa Casa.
Two-headed baby who later was named Emanoel and Jesus were born just before Christmas because this is the second case in Brazil this year. Previous two-headed baby was also born in the state of Paraiba, but died several hours later because her lungs could not capture the oxygen.
