A newborn from Mumbra has entered the annals of medical history. He is one of the 100-odd known babies worldwide who carried a partially developed twin -- an anomaly known as foetus-in-foetu — within themselves. In this condition, an abnormal monozygotic twin (derived from a single ovum) develops inside the body of its host. The parasitic twin battles the host for resources, and poses a life threat.
