Craniopagus parasiticus

Craniopagus parasiticus is a very rare type of conjoined twins where the second twin is connected at the top of the head of the other twin. Worst, the second twin's body is not fully developed. They call the second twin as a parasitic twin since it is dependent on the the first twin who is fully developed.

This girl is Manar Maged, an egyptian baby who suffered craniopagus parasiticus. She has undergone a separation operation which turned out to be succesful. Unfortunately, she died later due to brain infection.

Manar's unfinished twin was able to blinked, smiled, looked around and slept independently. She had a fully functional brain which is very rare.

Manar's is the only case to have survived the operation up until the brain infection.
