	Manar Maged - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Manar Maged (March 30, 2004 – March 26, 2006) was an Egyptian girl, born with a rare medical condition called craniopagus parasiticus: a type of conjoined twin, where the twins are attached at the head and one fails to develop completely in the womb, becoming completely dependent upon the other.
		On 19 February 2005, Manar underwent a thirteen-hour operation in Benha, Egypt, to remove her twin.
		Manar appeared with her mother on Oprah in 2005, along with the surgical team who had carried out the operation.

	Egypt 'Two-Head' Baby Breathing Without Ventilator
		Manar Maged, who is now 11 months old, was born with craniopagus parasiticus, a very rare condition, which left her attached by the skull to the head of her underdeveloped twin.
		Alfy told Reuters that Manar would be under observation for the next two days in the hospital's intensive care unit to ensure that her breathing remains normal without the ventilator.
		Doctors have said Manar's case is extremely rare and her survival of the operation was a big achievement.

		The twin could blink and smile and respond to stimuli as with her twin but was not capable of independent life as the second head had no body with sufficient organs for life.
		She said Manar's mother was allowed to have direct contact with her baby after being separated for almost two months after the operation on Feb. 19.
		Manar is only one of about seven children ever born with this condition, the second to have her twin removed surgically, and the only one to survive.

		CAIRO - A 10-month-old girl was beginning to move her limbs with ease, steadily improving after an operation last week that removed a second head sharing a blood vessel with her brain, one of her doctors said Wednesday.
		Manar Maged was born March 30 with a rare birth defect, craniopagus parasiticus, that occurs when an embryo begins to split into identical twins but fails to complete the process, leaving an undeveloped conjoined twin in the womb.
		Hopefully, he said, Manar can be removed from a ventilator and transferred out of the intensive care unit in about a week.

		Manar was born with a rare condition known as craniopagus parasiticus, which occurs when an embryo begins to split into identical twins but fails to complete the process.
		The head that was removed from Manar had been capable of smiling and blinking but not independent life, doctors said.
		The 13-strong surgical team separated Manar’s brain from the conjoined organ in small stages on Saturday, cutting off the blood supply to the extra head while preventing increased blood flow to Manar’s heart, which would have risked cardiac arrest.

		Manar and her sister, Noora, were born March 30, 2004.

	Second head removed from baby girl - house of hate
		Abla El Alfy, a consultant in paediatric intensive care, said at the hospital in Benha, near Cairo, that Manar Maged was in a serious but improving condition after the procedure to treat her for craniopagus parasiticus - a problem related to that of conjoined twins linked at the skull.
		Manar had been joined at the cranium to a poorly formed baby that consisted of a head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth and neck, but no body.
		Manar's development in the womb had affected by a condition in which an embryo starts to split but stops before the process is complete, resulting in the formation of a less-than-fully-developed conjoined twin.

		Even though the second twin with an undeveloped body may not actually be alive on her own, she was in fact alive, and she should be named.
		I think it will make Manar feel much better knowing her twin sister gave up her life for her, and that the twin was not just a head without a name.
		Manar's been given a gift and will be able to live a full life, one that would not be possible without today's medical technologies.
