Baby Born With 4 Inch Tail In A Hospital Of China; Parents Were Shocked

A strange baby has been born in China with a 4 inch long tail, seeing which even the parents were shocked. According to doctors, this is a very rare case and it happens due to a special condition. However, this is not the first such case in the country. Actually it is a developmental congenital disorder. Due to this, earlier in 2014, a girl named Nuo-Nuo was also born with spina bifida.

The latest case is from Hangzhou Children’s Hospital. Neurosurgeon Dr. Lee shared its video on social media and wrote, the birth of a child with a tail is the result of abnormal growth. He said- When some organs develop very fast and the process cannot be stopped, then such a situation arises. Earlier we suspected that perhaps the child’s spinal cord was tied. But this was also confirmed in MRI.

Such cases have come before also

Seeing the condition of her son, Nuo Nuo’s mother requested the doctors to remove it. But the doctors refused. He said that since the tail is connected to his nervous system, if it is removed, he may face serious problems. According to scientists, the tail bone itself is a thing that has fallen out of use during the process of biological evolution. It reminds us of our lost tails which used to help us balance while climbing trees.

This situation arises because of this

The doctor told that when the spinal cord is abnormally connected to the surrounding tissues, such a tail comes out. Usually this does not happen. This can cause many types of neurological problems. This is not the first time that a baby has been born with a tail in China. In 2014, five-month-old Nuo Nuo was born with spina bifida, a developmental congenital disorder. This leaves a gap in the spine. Within a few days of his birth, his mother noticed that a tail had started growing, which had reached five inches in length.
