Caudal twinning

Toddler born with three legs going home to Bangladesh after surgery in Australia

Choity Khatun, who is three, was born with caudal twinning, meaning that part of a twin had developed in her pelvis.

Australian surgeons spent months working out how to remove the extra limb and reconstruct her pelvic area.

The toddler was brought to Australia from her village in Bangladesh by a charity, Children First Foundation.

Dr Chris Kimber, head of surgery at Monash Children's Hospital in Victoria, said Choity's case was very rare and the surgery had been "daunting".
