A foot grows inside a baby’s brain

December 18, 2008

A possible first in the world case.

A foot grows inside a babys brain A pediatric brain surgeon in Colorado removed a small foot growing inside the brain of a 3-day old. The cause was possibly thought to be from a fetal twin that began to form within another.

The baby is expected to do well, but will require frequent monitoring to ensure the tumor does not recur.
