A 26-year old woman from a village in upper Egypt has given birth to a health baby girl with two heads, the Cairo daily Al-Akhbar reported on Friday.
The baby can move both heads, according to the newspaper, which also published a photo of the child. The baby was delivered by Caesarean section in a hospital in Assiut after an uncomplicated nine-month pregnancy. The baby was then brought to a specialist clinic in Cairo 'to carry out further tests and to establish how to manage this unusual case'.
[Note the use of the word baby, singular, in this report. Perhaps it is closer to the truth to consider this case as the birth of two babies sharing a body as in the case of the UK sisters Abigail and Brittany (photo). A photo accompanying the story shows this point by giving the names of the pair, Huda and Manal Abdel Nasser Mohammed Mahmoud.]
