Riesen-Überraschung nach Geburt

Mädchen kommt mit 6-Zentimeter-Schwanz zur Welt

Story from Jam Press (Human Tail) Pictured: The tail seen on the infant. Baby girl born with 5cm GROWING TAIL ‘covered in hair and skin’ in extremely rare medical case Doctors have successfully removed a “true tail” from a newborn baby girl – and the condition is thought to be incredibly rare. The infant was born via caesarean delivery at a rural hospital in north-eastern Mexico. According to the case study entry in the Journal of Paediatric Surgery, “the child had no previous history of radiation, teratogen exposure, or infections during pregnancy,” and she was born to “two healthy parents” in their late twenties. The tail-like structure was measured at 5.7 cm in length, with a diameter between 3 mm and 5 mm in all its length, it was also cylindrical and was pointed towards the end. Doctors noted the tail was covered with hair and skin and the baby cried when the structure was pinched by a needle. Medical professionals then performed a Lumbosacral X-ray but found no evidence of anomalies or bone structures inside the tail, meaning the tail was not a vestigial tail but a “true tail” – an extremely rare occurrence. Doctors established there were no heart or hearing problems, urinary tract malformations, or vesicoureteral reflux. Her MRI also revealed no cerebral anomalies, and was negative for posterior dysraphism, with the spinal cord and spinal cone of normal characteristics. Once doctors ruled out spinal dysraphism the young patient was re-assessed by a paediatrics and general surgery team at two months of age. Satisfied there had been adequate weight gain and growth for age, the tail structure had increased 0.8 cm in length. With no evidence of skin lesions a decision was made to remove the tail and reconstruct the area by Limberg plasty. The patient was discharged and no complications have been reported since. According to the journal: “The presence of tails in humans is extremely infrequent. In the most recent review by
Ungewöhnlicher Fall: In Mexiko wurde ein Mädchen mit einem Schwanz geboren.

Als dieses kleine Mädchen auf die Welt kommt, staunen Eltern und Ärzte nicht schlecht. Denn die Kleine hatte einen „echten Schwanz“. Einen kleinen, wurmartigen Fortsatz direkt am Po. Eine medizinische Seltenheit!

Schwanz ist fast 6 Zentimeter lang

Denn weltweit gibt es nur etwa 50 dokumentierte Fälle echter „Schwänze“, die nicht auf eine Fehlbildung oder einen Tumor zurückzuführen sind. Und selbst dann sind die Zahlen noch äußerst niedrig. Der „Schwanz“ des Mädchens war bei der Geburt 5,7 Zentimeter lang und zwischen drei und fünf Millimetern dick. Es kam in Mexiko mit einem Kaiserschnitt zur Welt.

Doch klar ist: Das Mädchen kann nicht dauerhaft mit einem Schwänzchen herumlaufen.
Da kein größeres medizinisches Problem festgestellt werden konnte, sprach nichts mehr gegen eine Operation.

Der Schwanz war nach seiner Entfernung über 6 Zentimeter lang.

Operation zwei Monate nach Geburt

Dies geschah zwei Monate nach der Geburt. Das Mädchen war bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt ganz normal gewachsen – und auch der Schwanz hat sich um 0,8 Zentimeter vergrößert. Die Ärzte entfernten ihn und verschlossen das entstandene Loch mithilfe plastischer Chirurgie. Damit dürfte bald nur noch eine Narbe an die ungewöhnliche Überraschung erinnern. (eon)
