The foetal bones were found in the intrauterine of the woman
Doctors at the civic-run Bharatratna Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Hospital in Kandivli carried out an unusual procedure, where they removed remnants of the foetal bones of a stone baby from the intrauterine of a young woman. A stone baby, also known as lithopedion, is a rare phenomenon which occurs most commonly when a foetus dies during an abdominal pregnancy, is too large to be reabsorbed by the body, and calcifies on the outside.
The 27-year-old patient, a resident of Uttar Pradesh, had become pregnant last year. Due to some medical issues, the couple decided on medical termination of the pregnancy (MTP). Soon after, the woman started developing health complications. The couple then came to Mumbai, where they sought consultation at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Hospital’s gynaecology department.
