A devastated mum in China is begging doctors
to help her seven-month-old son - who has a three-inch TAIL sticking out of his
back.
Little Xiao Wei was born with spina bifida,
which means his vertebrae didn't form properly. The result is a growth that
protrudes out of the back of his spine and is STILL GROWING.
Xiao's mum Chen, from Guangdong province,
revealed: "We have asked the surgeons to remove the tail but they tell us
it is not that simple”.
Risk ... surgeons say if they cut it off,
it'll grow back
Surgeon Huang Chuanping explained: “The
growth is quite well developed and now measures some 10 centimeters.
“If we cut it off it will simply grow again.
We need to repair the spinal canal first to stop it reoccurring."
