Doctors are assessing the little boy, who has been moved to Karachi for
treatment. They are considering asking for foreign help in the
complicated operation to remove the extra limbs.
The baby’s dad Imran
Shaikh has made a plea for help to fund his son’s treatment. The baby’s
mum, who is also her husband’s cousin, is recovering from the caesarean
birth in the family’s home town Sukkur, around 280 miles from Karachi.
“Operating
on such a baby is not an easy task as proper assessments need to be
done first,” explained Dr Jamal Razza, from the National Institude of
Child Health in Karachi. “We need to figure out whether the baby has his
twin’s limbs or his own. We also need to consider how much the internal
organs have developed as the latter could complicate matters and
decrease the baby’s chances of surviving.”
The rare condition is thought to affect fewer than one in a million babies.
