Medical → Rebeca Martinez... and her parasitic head (Set 2)
Baby Rebeca Martinez with a parasitic head sleeps at the CARE clinic in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Rebeca Martinez (December 10, 2003 - February 7, 2004) was an infant from the Dominican Republic who was born with two heads, a case reported by news agencies across the world.
Martinez had a parasitic twin, an extremely rare case where one of two conjoined twins stop growing as a fetus. She had a condition known as craniopagus parasiticus. There have only been nine known cases of this condition before (seven died before birth, one shortly after, and only one was able to survive for several years). Twins born conjoined at the head are extremely rare, accounting for one of every 2.5 million births. Parasitic twins like Rebeca are even rarer.
The second head was only partially developed, with a partially developed brain, ears, eyes and lips. Its mouth would move when Rebeca was breast feeding. Tests indicated some activity in the second brain.
The surgery was necessary because the second head was growing faster than the first one.
Rebeca Martinez went into surgery at Santo Domingo, on February 6, to try to remove the other head. This was the first operation of its type in history. Doctor Jorge Lazareff, who had successfully separated Guatemalan conjoined twins in 2002, led the historic operation, which lasted 11 hours. On the morning of February 7, she died from complications related to the surgery.
