Only a few months old, Asree Gul was discharged from a hospital in eastern Afghanistan after doctors successfully removed the extra head from her scalp, reports the BBC.
Born to farmers in the Chaparhar district, Asree also has a twin sister, who was delivered without complications. Asree’s unique condition, however, made it difficult for her to sleep.
The hospital’s chief surgeon, Ahmad Obaid Mojadidi, told the Agence France-Pressethat the complicated operation performed on Chaparhar was the first of its kind in the region.
