Three Month old Asree Gul, with an extra head as she lies at a hospital in the eastern Afghanistan city of Jalalabad
This
shocking picture shows a three-month-old baby with an extra head as she
lies at a hospital in the Afghanistan city of Jalalabad.
The photo was taken just before Asree Gul underwent a rare operation to have the second skull removed.
Doctors say the surgery was a success, but it was complicated as vital nerves and blood vessels were linked to the second skull.
The
family – farmers in Chaparhar district – approached doctors after Asree
Gul’s second skull made it difficult for her to sleep, and led to her
being stigmatised in their village.
Asree Gul – which means “new
flower” – is one of a set of twins, and doctors believe her unusual
condition was caused when a third baby failed to develop in the womb.
“Her
mother gave birth to twins, two girls, one girl was in good health but
the other has an abnormality. She had an extra head attached to her
head,” Dr Ahmad Obaid Mojadidi told AFP.
He added that it was the first successful surgery of its kind in eastern Afghanistan.
“We don’t have very developed equipment,” he said, “but we are very happy to have conducted the operation successfully”.
The
generous doctor completed the operation – which would usually cost
between £2,500 and £3,700 – for free, as the family could not afford it.
