The girl whose parasitic twin was growing INSIDE her: 8lb foetus in the toddler's stomach was so big she couldn't eat or drink

The baby, known only as Nisha, had been struggling to eat and drink when her parents took her to hospital in India with a swollen abdomen (left). 


Doctors were astonished to discover a 'foetus in fetu' - a condition where the malformed foetus is found in the body of its twin. They spent hours operating to remove the mass of skin, hair and bone (right). Her mother Sumathi said she had bene unable to go for scans during her pregnancy. She said: 'She always had a slightly larger than normal stomach but we ignored it until she stared crying endlessly and began having issues breathing and having food.'
