Ononye VC wrote in from Onitsha;
Medical doctors at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH) Nnewi, Anambra State, are in dilemma over the condition of a baby born recently without anus to determine the s*x of the child. And in order to excrete urine and feces, the doctors had to perforate the baby’s abdomen to eliminate waste.
The pathetic situation left the parents of the baby, Mr and Mrs Charles Ibeh whose only source of livelihood is petty trading crumbled and had to stop three of their other children from going to school while living with the agony of the strange medical condition.
The harrowing story started when the mother of the ill fated baby, Mrs Uchenna Ibeh was recently delivered of the baby in a private hospital in Onitsha through operation and it was discovered that the baby was utterly deformed with the entire intestine on the surface of the abdomen while the anus and genitals were nowhere to be found.
