An Indian computer science PhD student from Hyderabad underwent brain surgery to find what she jokingly called her "evil twin sister who's been torturing me for the past 26 years". Doctors who performed brain surgery on Yamini Karanam, 26, in Los Angeles were shocked to find that instead of a tumour, she had an embryonic twin in her head, according to NBC.
Karanam, who was studying at Indiana University, was unaware of what was happening in her head until she underwent a procedure designed to reach deep into the brain to extract the tumour.
After waking up from the surgery, Karanam was surprised to learn of the "teratoma"-her embryonic twin, a rarity in modern medicine, complete with bone, hair and teeth.
