Guest Frank_Nabbit Posted January 3, 2004 Report Posted January 3, 2004 Boy 'pregnant' with twin brother A seven-year-old boy who was admitted to hospital with stomach pains was actually "pregnant" with his twin brother. Doctors at Chimkent Children's Hospital in Kazakhstan originally believed Mourat Zhanaidarov was suffering from a cyst. But during surgery, they discovered he was in fact carrying the dead foetus of his twin brother. The foetus had developed into a tumour but was found to have hair, nails and bones. 'No longer alive' Doctors at the hospital told the BBC the tumour was the remains of his twin brother's foetus. They said that while it was no longer a living substance it was feeding off the boy's blood supply. If left unchecked it could one day have threatened Mourat's own life. It was remarkable Valentina Vostrikova, Chimkent Children's Hospital The tumour has now been successfully removed. It is believed that the foetus grew inside Mourat while he was developing in the womb. Doctors believe the two foetuses should have developed into conjoined twins. "At first we saw that the boy's organs were squeezed by a large hard swelling covered with black hair," one surgeon told a British newspaper. "As we washed him, we could see that inside him he had his own twin brother. Mourat had been a Siamese twin but nobody knew it. "Something had gone wrong during his mother's pregnancy and the baby grew inside his brother." Valentina Vostrikova, chief surgeon at Chimkent Children's Hospital, told the newspaper: "It was remarkable. For seven years it lived like a parasite inside the boy's body." Doctors at the hospital told the BBC they were unable to explain the phenomenon. They suggested a number of factors could have played a role, including malnutrition in the mother.

Golgo 13 Posted January 3, 2004 Report Posted January 3, 2004 I don't know. I checked the BBC site though, and it's there. Think of how much something like this would screw up your mental state though, much less for a 7 yr. old kid (if his parents did tell him, though I can't imagine what parent in their right mind would).
DerangedHermit Posted January 3, 2004 Report Posted January 3, 2004 Um...that's so disgusting I can't even vomit.
2GOLD Posted January 3, 2004 Report Posted January 3, 2004 Huh...would have been cooler if he was alive. Then men could say "hey! One of us gave birth so shut up!" ...god, I'm going to get so much heat for that...I should run while I can.
k thx Posted January 3, 2004 Report Posted January 3, 2004 There was a tv program on it over here a month or so ago. Creepy, creepy stuff.

welshjerichomark Posted January 3, 2004 Report Posted January 3, 2004 I mis-read the topic title. I thought it said Boy "pregnant", by own brother. Now that would have been gross.
Guest FrigidSoul Posted January 4, 2004 Report Posted January 4, 2004 "Something had gone wrong during his mother's pregnancy and the baby grew inside his brother." Well there's the under-statement of the century.

treble Posted January 4, 2004 Report Posted January 4, 2004 FOX had some show on during the summer about weird things taken out of humans and #1 on the list was some old Indian dude who had his twin brother removed from his stomach area. He had lived for 60+ years with this big stomach then just one day started having pains, went to the hospital and they took it out, and I guess it was pretty much like the one described in this case, just a bunch of hair and teeth.
BorneAgain Posted January 4, 2004 Report Posted January 4, 2004 Am I the only one who immediately thought of the South Park episode with Nurse Golem when they saw this thread?
Steviekick Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 That was pretty messed up. But I laughed out loud while reading the article.
Guest Skironox Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 Only on the internet can you find this crap... Only on the net...
Agent_Bond34 Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 Am I the only one who immediately thought of the South Park episode with Nurse Golem when they saw this thread? I was actually thinking of that movie "Junior".
BorneAgain Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 Am I the only one who immediately thought of the South Park episode with Nurse Golem when they saw this thread? I was actually thinking of that movie "Junior". My thought was because I remembered this piece of dialogue from the episode Sheila: Now, that's just the kind of unawareness that we need to fight against. Sit down, boys. [they hop on the sofa. She sits in the middle and opens the book. Softly, she reads] You see boys, sometimes, when babies are born, they're born as twins. But sometimes the twins get hooked together, and they're born as Siamese twins. [a picture of two adults attached by the side of the head is shown] The Boys: Gross! Sheila: But sometimes, after the Siamese twins are joined together, one of the twins dies before birth. The living baby is born with the dead baby still attached. [stan is frightened] Sometimes, this dead twin is inside the living person, so even you could have a dead twin inside you and not even know it! [now, Cartman is frightened. He and Stan rush out of there] Stan: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Cartman: AAAAA! Let me live! AAAAA!
