In the incident that took place in Mexico, an 84-year-old woman went to the hospital with unbearable abdominal pain.
After the examination at the hospital, the doctors could not believe their eyes. A fetus thought to be 40 years old was found in the old woman’s womb.
As a result of the examinations, it was learned that the fetus in the womb of the old woman was 40 weeks old.
THE REASON HAS BEEN CLEAR
Doctors announced that the 40-year-old fetus in the womb of the 84-year-old woman did not result in delivery because it developed outside the uterus due to an ectopic pregnancy up to 40 weeks.
While it is stated that the surgical intervention for the removal of the fetus is risky due to the age of the woman, it is called ‘Lithopedion’ in the medical world.
Lithopedion disease, which is also known as ‘stone baby’ and is very rare, results in the death of the baby in the womb during ectopic pregnancy but not being able to be expelled from the body.
The fetus, which remains dead in the womb, is gradually calcified by the body’s defense mechanisms so that it does not poison the mother.
