Foot in the Brain!!!

Foot in the Brain!!!

Baby born with a foot in his brain !! Medicine never stops to suprise us. Surgeons were shocked when, while removing a tumor from an infants brain, they discovered body parts including a perfectly formed tiny foot.Dr. Gibb found a foot , thigh and a hand inside the boy's brain during the operation at the memorial Hospital for children in Colorado. The growth could be one of two things: Teratoma, which is a mass that contains various incompletely formed body parts that may include hair and teeth . Or the much rarer condition of fetus in fetu which occurs when one twin engulfs the other in the womb . The growth proved to be non cancerous. Surgeons removed the growth proved to be non cancerous . Surgeons removed the growth days after his birth, his survival was described as a "miracle".
