A baby boy has been born with his parasitic twin's head and arms hanging down from his chest. Both newborns share the same liver and a large portion of their blood but have a separate heart and lungs.
The yet-to-be named baby is fully formed but his undeveloped brother is missing his genitals and legs. Doctors believe it is likely they will be able to detach the pair but the operation will be risky.
Parasitic twins are believed to affect just one in a million pregnancies. See more photos below:
