Baby girl hospitalized with fetus inside
A medical team at an Egyptian hospital successfully performed a rare surgical procedure to remove a fully formed fetus inside the stomach of a one-and-a-half-year-old girl, following a severe gastrointestinal bleed. Tests revealed the presence of a fetal-like structure inside the stomach, a rare medical condition known as "fetus in fetu," which occurs due to a very rare congenital anomaly. Its incidence is estimated at about one in 500,000 births worldwide. The operation was successful, and doctors confirmed the child's condition is stable. They explained that hospitals are equipped to handle such rare cases through early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention.
