‘“Fetus in Fetu” literally translates to the fetus inside a fetus condition. In this condition, a fetus gets prematurely enveloped and enclosed inside the body of its twin.’
After examining the swelling, the medical team at the hospital revealed that the infant was suffering from a rare condition called retro-peritoneal mature teratoma or fetus in fetu. CT scan discovered the presence of fetus inside the infant's abdomen. Dr. Bhavin Vasavada, a senior surgeon, removed the fetus from the abdomen of the infant.
The unborn fetus was found to have an undeveloped hand and some parts of a spine. Despite the rare abnormality, the operation was a success, and the infant is said to recovering well.

Insights into the Mechanisms That the Zika Virus Uses to Cause Fetus Microcephaly
The mechanisms that the Zika virus uses to cause foetus microcephaly, a brain development disorder, has been uncovered by researchers.

- It is a developmental anomaly/abnormality and therefore has nothing to with any sexual activity. In this an embryo of a child encases and envelops that of its twin, restricting the other’s growth.
- It usually occurs inside the abdomen.
- Some symptoms of this fetus in fetu abnormality include abdominal swelling, jaundice, pressure on the kidneys, breathlessness, and vomiting.
