twins born with separate brains
5:52 AM
In a rare birth, a set of conjoined boys born to a Mumbai couple at Sion hospital has separate brains, but shares all other vital organs. Doctors are now conducting tests to understand which limb is controlled by which brain before they proceed to separate the twins.
The boys, together weighing 4.5 kilogram, were born after a Caesarean procedure on Wednesday morning to a couple from Uttar Pradesh that had migrated to Mumbai over a decade ago. The incidence of such conjoined twins is one in five lakh globally.
