Human fetus found in 7 month baby’s stomach given new lease of life

Team of doctors who operated on the seven-month-old baby who had a fetus inside it

Dateline Dehradun: Rinku (name changed) was only seven months old when his mother noticed his growing stomach. Initially, she ignored it, but as the stomach continued to enlarge, she became concerned. Despite consulting several doctors, Rinku did not find relief.

Rinku’s mother and family approached Dr. Santosh Singh, a senior Paediatric Surgeon at Himalayan Hospital Jollygrant. In Rinku’s initial examination, Dr. Singh suspected an abnormal mass in the stomach. An X-ray revealed that a human fetus was developing inside Rinku’s stomach.

Dr. Santosh Singh explained that this condition is medically termed “Fetus-in-Fetu” (Fetus inside a Fetus). After informing Rinku’s parents, the hospital’s surgical team meticulously planned the operation.

Dr. Santosh Singh shared that last week, Rinku underwent successful surgery, and the partially developed human fetus was successfully removed from his stomach. Four days after the operation, Rinku, now fully healthy, was discharged.  T

he operation was made successful with the cooperation of Dr. Ayesha, Dr. Harish, Dr. Vaishnavi, Geeta, and Rajni.

What is Fetus-in-Fetu?
Dr. Santosh Singh, a paediatric surgeon at Himalayan Hospital Jollygrant, explained that “Fetus-in-Fetu” is an extremely rare phenomenon in human fetal development. For unknown reasons, one fetus begins to develop inside another, much like a parasite. This condition can be detected via ultrasound during the mother’s pregnancy, though in most cases, it is discovered after birth.

Occurs in One out of 500,000 Pregnancies
Dr. Santosh Kumar stated that cases like “Fetus-in-Fetu” can occur in one out of over 500,000 pregnancies. Typically, these cases are noticed when a baby’s stomach enlarges abnormally between one to two years of age. While the condition generally does not pose a life threat to the baby, it can lead to other serious health issues. The only treatment for this condition is surgery, which should be performed as soon as possible. In experienced hands, the surgery is safe and successful.

An awareness program on acne was organized at the Himalayan Hospital Jollygrant.

Dateline Dehradun: An awareness program on acne was organized at the Himalayan Hospital Jollygrant. During the program, people attending the OPD were informed about the causes, symptoms, and prevention of acne.

On Thursday, the Department of Dermatology at Himalayan Hospital held an awareness program addressing the issue of acne. During this event, Head of the Department, Dr. Rashmi Jindal, mentioned that while acne is a common problem in adolescence, it can occur at any age. It is a common belief that acne only occurs during adolescence, but experts disagree. People in their 30s and 40s can also face acne issues. Dr. Y.S. Bisht explained that acne clogs the pores on the face’s skin. When the sebaceous glands produce excessive sebum oil, the pores get blocked. These glands are connected to hair follicles. This blockage is called a plug, which then expands and turns into a lump, damaging the skin layer. This allows bacteria and harmful substances to enter the skin, causing inflammation and irritation.

Dr. Samarjeet Roy noted that some primary causes of acne are hormonal imbalance, continuous use of oily cosmetics, certain medications, and humid weather. Additionally, genetics can sometimes play a role. Acne can leave scars, marks, patches on the skin, and open pores. They can also lead to a lack of confidence and symptoms of depression. Dr. Ruchi Hemdani explained that there are various types of acne, and if someone has acne, they should consult a dermatologist. Dermatologists diagnose and treat according to the skin type, whereas self-treatment can often be harmful to the skin.

Dr. Deekshita, Dr. Ritu, Dr. Anuj, Dr. Arnav, Dr. Jagruti, Dr. Darshana, Dr. Vrinda, Dr. Sakshi, Dr. Shobhit, and Dr. Tabeer also provided information to the attendees.
