  Parasitic twin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Craniopagus occipitalis is the term for fusion in the occipital region; craniopagus parietalis is when the fusion is in the parietal region; craniopagus parasiticus is term for a parasitic head attached to the head of a more fully-developed fetus or infant.
Fetus in fetu describes an extremely rare abnormality that involves a fetus getting trapped inside of its twin.
Invariably the parasitic fetus is anencephalic (without a brain) and lacks internal organs, and as such is unable to survive on its own.

The circulatory system of a human fetu works differentlyfrom that of born humans, mainly because the lungs are not in use: the fetu obtains oxygen and nutrients from the mother through the placenta and the umbilical cord.
Inthe fetu, there is an opening between the right and left atrium (the foramen ovale), and most of the blood flows from the right into the left atrium, then into the leftventricle from where it is pumped through the aorta into the body.
In the fetu, there is a special connectionbetween the pulmonary artery and the aorta, called the ductusarteriosus, which directs most of this blood away from the lungs (which aren't being used for respiration at this pointas the fetu is suspended in amniotic fluid).

The term Foetus-in-fetu (FIF) was coined by Meckel[1] in the 18th century and is defined as a parasitic twin found within the abdomen of its sibling.
In earlier days, it was hypothesised that FIF results from a modified process of twinning and with a natural progression from normal to conjoined symmetrical twins through parasitic fetus and fetal inclusion and finally to teratoma.
In conclusion, the diagnosis of FIF should be considered in a child with a history of a slowly growing lump in abdomen in an appropriate clinical setting.

One strange case in the early part of the 20th century was that of a boy who was literally "with child." His brother was contained in a sac communicating with the abdomen and connected to the side of the cyst by a short umbelical cord.
The fetus made its appearance as a tumor when the boy was nine and subsequently grew too large for the child to contain it, thus killing its host.
Another half-developed fetus was removed from the abdomen of a 13-month-old girl in Portland, Oregon in 1940.

The cardiac development of the affected twin is impaired by the reversal of the flow in its heart.
This stunts the growth of the affected fetus, and as the host grows it progressively embeds the smaller twin around the third week.
That argument is probably not valid since in abdominocyesis the antigen complements of the host and fetus are different, which contrasts with fetuses in fetu.

If the fetus does not have the same claim to life as a person, it appears that the newborn baby is of less value than the life of a pig, a dog, or a chimpanzee.
Also, the nervous system of the eight-week old fetus is quite different from that of the seven or eighth month old fetus, let alone that of the two-year old child.
If this is true, then a human zygote or a human fetus is a human being and a human person which is the bearer of his or her own moral and legal rights.
