Baby with a 'second head' is buried alive by his father in India... only to be rescued and given a new chance of life after successful surgery

印度“双头”婴儿险遭父亲活埋，手术成功后获得新生

A 'two-headed' baby who was rescued as his father was having him buried alive will get a fresh start thanks to life-changing surgery.

印度一名“双头”婴儿险遭父亲活埋，获救后在医院接受改变人生的手术，迎来新生。

Surgeons said the child, who has not been named, was born in Kashmir, India, with a second head growing out of his first.

Because of the abnormality, which was filled with dysfunctional brain matter, the father rejected the newborn and tried to have him buried.

外科医生称，这个孩子出生在印度克什米尔，他的第一个脑袋后面长出了第二个脑袋，属于脑功能缺陷。其父亲无法接受，试图将该婴儿活埋。

But a grave digger in the town of Nowhatta raised the alarm after noticing movement and hearing a feeble cry as he lowered the baby into the ground.

但是，诺瓦塔镇的一名掘墓人注意到有人在动，听到婴儿发出微弱的哭声后，便立刻报警。

Now the enormous 4.6lbs growth has been removed by neurosurgeons at the nearby Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, giving the child a new lease on life.

目前，谢尔-克什米尔医学科学研究所的神经外科医生已经把这颗4.6磅重的大肉瘤切除，让这个孩子重获新生。

Dr Abdul Rashid Bhat, who operated on the baby, said: 'The 40-day-old was born with a head-on-head anomaly and was unacceptable to the family who attempted to bury him alive.

阿卜杜勒·拉希德·巴特医生为这名婴儿做了手术，他说:“这名40天大的婴儿出生时头部畸形，家人无法接受，便试图活埋他。”

'The police service of Kashmir saved him and admitted him to the hospital. His condition was critically bad, so he was initially admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit.'

“克什米尔警方救下婴儿，把他送到医院。婴儿的情况非常危机，一开始就被送进了新生儿重症监护室。”

Dr Bhat said the 'second head' was an example of giant occipital encephalocele.

巴特博士称，“双头”属于枕部巨大脑膨出。

Encephalocele occurs in one in 5,000 births, when part of the skull has not formed properly and a portion of brain tissue forms in a sac-like protrusion outside it.

每5000个新生儿中就有一个会出现脑膨出，因为颅骨的一部分没有正常形成，而部分脑组织在颅骨外形成了囊状突起。

In this case, Dr Bhat said, the growth was three times the size of the normal head.

巴特博士称，在这种情况下，这种肉瘤是正常头部的三倍大。

'The operation was aimed at separating the abnormal dysfunctional brain from the normal brain along with skin,' he said.

他说:“手术的目的是将异常功能失调的大脑和皮肤一起从正常大脑中分离出来。”

'It took three hours. The operation was very successful since the normal shape of the head was resumed and the baby started thriving well postoperatively.

手术花了三个小时，非常成功。头部恢复了正常形状，婴儿在术后开始茁壮成长。

'He was discharged from the hospital within only a week of the operation and was seen once by the outpatient department.

婴儿在手术后不到一周就出院了，之后去了一次门诊。

'The child is expected to live normally if he does not manifest signs of any other anomaly in any other organ in future.'

“如果这个孩子的其他任何器官日后没有表现出任何异常的迹象，他就有望正常生活。”

According to local media, the father was arrested but later bailed by his brother.

The uncle has reportedly now adopted the child.

据当地媒体报道，婴儿的父亲已被捕，但后来被其兄弟保释。据报道，这位叔叔现在收养了这个孩子。
