Girl Born with 6 cm Tail in Brazil

In a shocking incident, a baby girl was born with a tail in Brazil. Surgeons removed the girl’s 6cm-long appendage, which was covered in skin and protruded from her back.

The growth of the tail is said to be an abnormality during pregnancy. The unidentified girl’s tale was published in the Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports.

According to reports, the girl was born with spina bifida, a rare spinal defect which occurs in the womb, causing a gap in the spine. Doctors said the tail sprouted up from the lumbosacral region, the area that connects the spine to the pelvis. This appendage is known as the ‘human pseudo-tail’.
