A parasitic “twin”
The pregnancy of her mother did not benefit from a real medical follow-up, but she knew that she was expecting twins. However, during childbirth, only Veronica was born and a “parasitic twin” developed on the child’s body. “When I was little, I thought it was just a foot. But as I grew up, it got bigger,” explains the young girl. These two “parasitic” members are heavy today and often ooze, they even bleed.
Very rare cases
This phenomenon is a very rare malformation called ischiopagus. One of the twins somehow “absorbs” the other, so that it retains one or more limbs. This concerns about one in 500,000 births. In 2007, the story of Lakshmi Tatma was told all over the world. This Indian girl was born with two arms and two legs from a parasitic twin. After a 37-hour operation, these limbs could have been removed. The main risk associated with these malformations is that nerves and organs are intertwined, which makes these operations very risky.

An operation in Thailand
The inhabitants of the village of Veronica Cominguez have contributed to raise enough funds so that the young girl can undergo the operation in Thailand. According to the doctors, the operation will not be complicated. Dr Beda Espineda, pediatric surgeon at the Philippine Children’s Medical Center, explains: “Most of these cases can be removed because usually the parts of the body involved are not vital.” The teenager is expected to fly to Thailand in the coming weeks, to finally get rid of her “parasitic” twin.
