Lithopedion

Do you know what a Lithopedion is? The definition is here. It's a stone baby! I was watching tv late the other night and there was a story on stone babies on. It totally blew my mind. This is fucking crazy! I still don't really understand it fully but it amazes the hell out of me. Read more at obgyn.net or read this article in Time.

Thanks for sharing.

This entry aroused my curiosity and I just ran a Medline search for "lithopedion" or "lithopaedion" or "stone bab*" and retrieved 59 articles published in English from predominant medical journals. Also tried to give you some layman materials from the so-called "top 10" consumer health sites, e.g. MedlinePlus, Mayo Clinic, NOAH,etc. They haven't included this yet. Guess it's very rare for the public.

Personally I prefer this blog over the other. Feel like a real snug.
