Rebecca Martinez, the baby from the Dominican Republic who was born with two heads, died in the hospital. Tonight, Martinez, who is seven weeks old, underwent a complicated operation to remove her second head. In the first operation of its kind, the doctors were able to remove the extra head. The operation was crowned with success, but after a few hours it was reported that the baby died in the hospital.
Advertisement The group of surgeons was headed by a brain surgeon from Los Angeles. The surgeons were in the operating room for about 11 hours, and according to them it went without any problems. The other head bore a brain, ears, eyes and half-developed lips. 18 surgeons, nurses and doctors worked in shifts to cut the underdeveloped tissue, sever the veins and arteries, and close the skull using bone and skin grafts from the other head.
Rebecca was born on December 10, with the extra head of an undeveloped twin baby, a condition known as craniophagos parasiticus. This is an extremely rare condition, and Rebecca is the eighth recorded birth of this type in history. All other babies were stillborn. The operation was performed after the doctors estimated that the extra head would press on her healthy skull and interfere with her brain development.
