Indonesian boys have the most rare malformations: born with 2 faces and 2 brains

Twins with conjoined eggs have been rare, but this phenomenon is even more rare, with a incidence of only 1 in 2.5 million cases.

Recently, the world medicine industry has recorded a very rare case occurred in Indonesia. Gilang Andika - Batam (Indonesia) 2-month-old boy born with 2 faces and 2 brains, but only one skull in the same body.

According to Ernilasari - Andika's mother, before she was born Andika, she did not find anything strange. The doctors at Chamata Sahidiya Panbil Hospital also performed three ultrasounds, but did not notice anything unusual.

Gilang Andika - an unfortunate boy in Indonesia

And as yet unfortunate enough, nature makes Andika suffer from other deadly conditions, which are typically brainwashing . This phenomenon will put strong pressure on the brain, making the child more susceptible to seizures later, affecting their ability to learn. That's not to mention hearing, memory, speaking and movement.

At the present time, his parents are hoping that doctors can do something. Unfortunately, this is the case, even if there is a lot of money, it is unlikely.

In order to cure Andika, it is necessary to perform an extremely high-risk surgery to remove one side of the brain, one side of the face and one part of the skull. And according to the latest report, doctors can't do that.

What happened to Andika?

Perhaps many people guessed it. The boy had encountered a twins and conjoined eggs - when the process of double-fertilization was not normal. However, this phenomenon is inherently rare, but the two-sided conception-producing fetus (also called diprosopus - two-sided teratogenicity) and the brain are even rarer.

Before 2014, only 35 cases of diprosopus were recorded in the entire history of humanity.

According to the WHO, before 2014, there were only 35 cases of diprosopus recorded in the entire history of mankind, and the rate fell to about 1 in 2.5 million births. That's enough to understand how rare this phenomenon is.

A well-known case of diprosopus is the twins Hope and Faith Howie in Sydney (Australia) in 2014. The two babies only lived for 19 days, but in that short time, their parents recognized 2 sides of their daughter have personal characteristics. As Hope likes to sleep, while Faith cries more often.
