Shocking: See a Baby Born with Half Head And Big Eyes (Photo)

The baby has very large eyes and half head

An unusual incident has shocked doctors in India after hospital successfully delivered a baby girl born with only half head. 

Doctors were shocked when a mum survived the birth of a baby with half a head. The little girl and her mum survived the birth in the northern Indian district of Uttar Pradesh. The little girl had shockingly protruding eyes and was missing the top of her head when she was born in India this week.

Savita Rani, 32, from Amroha district of Uttar Pradesh, in northern India, gave birth to her “miracle baby” on Tuesday after a natural birth.

After word got round the local area about the girl's unusual features, large numbers of people started to gather outside the Sai Nursing Home clinic in the hope of seeing the baby, reports The Mirror.

Sai Nursing Home gynaecologist Dr Kusum Lata, 30 said: “These complications occur due to incorrect and irregular eating habits of the mother during pregnancy.

“This is why we as doctors keep emphasising on regular check ups of the women during pregnancy so we can try to guide the mother and hope to avoid such birth abnormalities.

“The baby’s eyes were so large that she was born with them already open because her head had not formed properly.

"She didn’t have normal movements like other babies when they are born - she wasn’t crying or moving.”

She was born very abnormal and doctors say they'v not seen anything like it before

Dr Lata added it was a miracle both mother and child survived.

The mother, who already has three very healthy children, faced extreme difficulties during labour and lost a lot of fluid and blood. He explained that the baby girl’s brain had not formed properly in the womb and her heart had kept her alive.

The baby girl later died of heart failure

But 48 hours later - on Thursday morning - the baby girl died of heart failure. The mum has now been discharged from hospital and is trying to come to terms with her loss.
