Lina Medina

 The story received a lot of interest. In its 16 July 1939 edition the San Antonio Light newspaper reported that an Peruvian midwife and obstetrician asked to be admitted to a national hospital. It also reported on stories from La Cronica, which stated that an American film studio had sent an official with "authority to offer $5,000 to the minor" to purchase filming rights. However, "we know that this offer was rejected." The article noted that Lozada had made films of Medina to provide scientific documentation and had presented them during a presentation at Peru's National Academy of Medicine. A few of the films had disappeared in a river when the girl was in her home town. However, enough survived to "inspire the skilled experts". Six weeks after, Medina gave way to the birth of a baby boy by caesarean. It was only 21 days old and five months old. This made her the youngest person to ever have a baby. The birth by caesarean was triggered due to her pelvis being small. Dr Busalleu, Dr Lozada and Dr Colareta performed the surgery. Dr Colareta provided anaesthesia. She had fully matured sexual organs following precocious puberty. Dr. Edmundo Escomel published her situation in La Presse Medicale. He observed that her menarche began at eight months old, contrary to earlier reports that she had experienced regular periods since three years.
