In July 2024, Rama Devi, a 38-year-old lady from Korianpurwa, Kiratapur village in India, delivered a kid with two faces, four arms, and four legs.
This uncommon disorder, termed polymelia, arises when conjoined twins form, although one twin’s body is inadequately developed, resulting in the fusing of its limbs with the more robust sibling.
Regrettably, the infant succumbed five hours post-delivery. Despite the medical personnel’s initial astonishment and the community’s intrigue,
Rama Devi’s spouse, Ramphal, saw the birth as an omen of prosperity and wealth. Polymelia is an exceedingly uncommon illness, occurring in approximately two out of every one million children globally.
