dr. Li shared a video on social media showing the unusual growth on the baby’s rear. Dr. Li thinks that its growth was caused by incomplete degeneration.
This “appendage” has no bones, but is attached to the spinal cord, which in this case is unusually attached to the surrounding tissue. Usually the spinal cord is free swim in the spinal canal, ensuring normal movement and function.
However, if the spinal cord is tied upa person’s movements are restricted, and it can also cause various neurological problems.
The rare case caused widespread reactions on social media site Douyin, which is like the Chinese TikTok.
It should be noted that this case is not the first time that a baby with a tail has been born in China. In 2014, five months pregnant, Nuo Nuo was born with spina bifida — a congenital developmental disorder that leaves crack in the spine. Within days of his birth, his worried mother noticed that the child started to grow a tail, and it grew more than 10cm long.
Fearing for her son’s future, Nuo Nuo’s mother urged surgeons in Changsha, China to find a way to remove it. True, they refused to operate and said that they could not do anything for the child, because the tail is connected to his nervous system.
