A baby was born in India with four arms and four legs, a condition initially baffling to medical professionals. Doctors have since determined the infant is a parasitic twin, a rare phenomenon occurring during pregnancy. This occurs when a twin embryo begins to develop but doesn’t fully separate from the other, resulting in extra limbs attached to the surviving infant. The additional limbs were connected to the upper chest and abdomen. While extremely rare, parasitic twin pregnancies can sometimes be detected during prenatal scans. The baby's condition is a complex congenital anomaly requiring further medical evaluation and care. This case highlights the complexities of early embryonic development.
