Two headed girl dies of infection

An Egyptian girl who survived an operation to remove a second head has died from a brain infection. Manar Maged suffered from a rare condition that occurs when an embryo splits in the womb but does not develop fully into a twin. Her second head could smile and blink, but could not survive independently. Doctors in Cairo operated on Manar in February 2005, when she was aged just 10 months. She died, aged two, after being rushed to hospital with a fever. "She was admitted to hospital in a very bad way," said Abla el-Alfy, a consultant paediatrician involved in her care. "She had a very severe infection in the brain and she wasn't able to fight it." Doctors at the Benha Children's Hospital had regarded the fact that Manar survived the initial 13-hour operation as a success. Her condition improved after the surgery, but she continued to suffer regular infections, Mr Alfy told Reuters news agency. The second head contained eyes, a nose and a mouth, but was not connected to any internal organs and was not capable of independent thought. Known as craniopagus parasiticus, the condition is one of the rarest forms of birth defects.

Sorry that the girl died, but this is one of most messed up thing I've heard in a while.

That's FUCKED

and the other head smiled and blinked its eyes? Thats just creepy

& that was intensly creepy!!!

Sorry it happened though

Her second head could smile and blink


Jesus fuck.

I can't believe some people are making fun of this. Thar has to be a horrible nightmere for a mother. You were supposed to have 2 baby girls, but due to a problem, you got a baby with a rare birth defect. Thankfully, they were able to perform (she probably had to pay a lot of $) a miracle surgery. But in the end, you still lose both daughters..it's a tragedy

They did a story on this on TLC... It was produced like, last november or something, when Manar was still young. They actually went through how the mother had all these complications and stuff. It was weird. But everyone thought Manar would be okay. It's sad.
