?There has been an extraordinary medical experience in Hong Kong where a baby was found to be ?pregnant? with twins when she was born.
The girl was born to Chinese mainland parents in Queen Elizabeth Hospital and had to undergo surgery at just three weeks old to remove them.
The foetuses, 8 to 10 weeks old, had legs, arms, a spine, rib cage and intestines.
One weighed 14.2 grammes and the other 9.3 grammes ? and each had an umbilical cord.
Dr Yu Kai-man, a specialist in obstetrics and gyneacology, believes it is the first documented case in the city and noted that such condition is known as foetus in foetu and occurs in just one in 500,000 births in the world.
He said, it was almost impossible to detect during the prenatal check-up, as the embryo inside the baby was too small.
The surgery was successful and the girl was discharged from hospital eight days later.
