A boy with double limbs was born in Uganda (photo)

The boy was born with a so-called "parasitic twin", that is, a fetus that did not fully develop in the womb, but at the same time he developed limbs.

Paul Mukis was born in the village of Gabijingo in eastern Uganda. When the parents discovered that the child had four legs and four arms, they immediately went to the local hospital for help. But they don't carry out such operations there, and they sent the child to the capital.

There, two months after birth, the little patient had his extra limbs removed. It was the first such operation carried out in Uganda. But despite the fact that the doctors found Paul and other deviations – the heart and liver of the child are not located where all people – Doctors believe that everything will be fine with the child. At the moment, the child is on the mend.

A similar story happened seven years ago in India. A boy was born there who had eight legs and eight arms. Then the doctors removed the extra limbs within 27 hours. After that, the boy underwent a rehabilitation course and is now developing normally.
