Twins joined at the head born in Poland

WARSAW, Poland, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- A Polish woman gave birth to twins joined at the head, doctors at a hospital in northeastern Poland said.

Doctors in Bydgoszcz said the twins, who weighed a total of 6.6 pounds, had no joint organs, raising hopes of a successful operation to separate the boys, Polish Radio said.

The boys, named Aleks and Brajan, were born Wednesday and preliminary tests indicated their brains as well as all other organs were functioning separately.

Kamila Wiecinska of the Bydgoszcz hospital said surgeons might try to separate the twins.

Hospital officials didn't reveal identities of the twins’ parents.
