(CNN) On May 27, Margaret Awino gave birth to Paul Mukisa with the help of her mother-in-law inside her home in Nabigingo, a small village in eastern Uganda. But instead of joy and jubilation for the birth of <a href=http://www.aec-ist.com/css/Gucci-Discount-Buy-Online-Purses-Handbags-Outlet.html>Gucci Purses</a>  her fifth child, the 28-year-old mother was shocked: her newborn son had been born with four legs and four arms.

The family rushed to a nearby district hospital for help but they were quickly referred to Mulago Hospital in the Ugandan capital of Kampala. There, a team of doctors examined the infant and made the diagnosis of parasitic twinning, a variant of conjoint twinning in which one of the twins is not fully developed baby Paul had been born with a full set of arms and legs and another set from a headless and heartless mirror image twin that never fully grew.

The Ugandan doctors ran a series of tests on the eight-limbed newborn which showed that the host and parasitic twin shared part of the pelvic bone. Examinations of Paul s internal organs revealed further abnormalities: his heart was on the right side of his body, instead of the left, while his liver was on the left side as opposed to the right.

We have not had a prior experience with a parasitic twin but we work on many other children with multiple complex multi-organ congenital anomalies such as intestinal, urologic, cardiac, and orthopedic defects, said Kakembo.
