Summary Dominique was born in Ivory Coast with parasitic twin having two extra legs and two spines
WEB DESK (Dunya News) – A parasitic twin was removed from a 10-month-old baby girl named Dominique after a risky surgery in United States, reported AJ+.
Dominique was born in Ivory Coast with parasitic twin having two extra legs and two spines.
Sticking out of her back, the parasitic twin could possibly have injured her spinal cord if not removed.
"We were very worried about her spinal cord because the two, the waist and the legs that were coming off her back, she was able to move," Pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. John Ruge revealed after the successful surgery.
The risky surgery was carried out on March 8 and lasted six hours with a team of about 50 medical personnel.
