10. Diprosopus
Diprosopus is a rarely occurring condition wherein facial duplication on the head occurs. It mustn’t be mixed with the disorder fetus in fetu wherein duo diverse fetuses are joined. Sonic hedgehog homolog protein is believed to be the offender. It is the one responsible for facial constitution & excess of it could be giving the person another face as a replica image. Deficits of this protein could lead to underdevelopment of face features. Babies having such anomaly are usually stillborns though there has been a case of an Indian baby born with this anomaly but managing to live duo months prior to suffering from a heart attack.
9. Diphallic Terata
Also known as PD (penile duplication) is a disorder wherein a baby boy innately has duo penis organs. With solely one thousand cases cited, it is an atypical condition and those ailing from it are even at a greater risk of suffering from spina bifida as compared to males having a single penile organ.An individual with PD could be urinating from duo penises and in majority of these men, the two penile organs are situated sideways to one another & analogously sized, though sporadically a bigger-sized one would be sitting underneath the smaller-sized penis. According to available stats, 1 from five and a half million males in the U.S. has duo penis organs.
8. Fetu In Fetu
Thirty-six-year old Indian Sanju Bhagat had a full-term pregnancy with his own twin. As placental tissue was lacking, there was direct attachment of twin within him to his body’s blood circulation.Delivery of the twin was done by physicians who has severe malformation & failed in surviving.
Fetus in fetu is an exceptionally atypical condition wherein a twin in some manner develops connection (internal or partially external) to its twin whilst yet inside the uterus. There have been people in whom the fetus in fetu stayed within the host twin unidentified till it started becoming problematic. In rather prevalent situations, the indications are apparent from the inception & are oftentimes wrongly believed to be cancer or cyst. There was also a case of a seven-year-old boy identified with being a carrier of his own twin when the parents observed some movement in his tumm
7. Proteus Syndrome
The condition leads to excess bone & skin developments & often coming with tumor formations. Merely two hundred cases have been substantiated globally following its official discovery during the later part of the seventies. It could be likely for an individual to be having a minor version of such disorder that could be going unidentified. Joseph Merrick – the Elephant Man is perhaps the largely well-known case of this disorder and the reason for it becoming so extensively identified. People suffering from this condition would have normal I.Q. & brain functioning.
6. Möbius Syndrome
It is a rarely occurring condition wherein the muscles of the face develop paralysis. In majority of the situations, the eyeballs are incapable of moving sideways.The condition tends to make sufferers seem ‘expressionless’ or dullish or non-interested as he/ she doesn’t exhibit any face expressions – at times making individuals in believing that they are discourteous. People suffering from such condition would exhibit regular mental growth. The reasons for this condition arising isn’t totally comprehended & there’s no therapy apart from having to address the signs (like feeding incapability as an infant).
5. Progeria
Also known as Hutchison-Gilford Progeria syndrome, it is causal to untimely aging – with such swiftness that a young kid could appear similar to a rather elderly person or an alien-like appearance. The condition is particularly attention-grabbing for researchers as it might offer hints into the innate process of growing old in males. Genetic mutation is the reason for this condition & isn’t passed down generations. It is incurable & majority of the kids having this condition would manage to survive past 13 years of age- generally deaths from strokes or heart attacks (conditions generally linked to older age) are their sealed fate.
4. Cutaneous Porphyria
It is a condition which is causal to blistering, excessive hair, swellings & necrosis in skin. Reddish-coloured tooth & finger nail areas are other signs of this disorder & on being exposed to the sun’s rays, the person could have purplish, pinkish, brownish or blackish urination. The condition is believed to be linked to several ware-wolfs & blood-sucking vampires tales in history, wherein a person ailing from this condition (who would be living a solitary existence) may have been wrongly believed to be monstrous. The condition is component of the generalized grouping of conditions known as porphyries that envelop an array of conditions (mentally & physically) because of particular enzymatic excess manufacture in the body. The condition got christened from a word ‘porphura’ – meaning purplish pigment.
3. Elephantiasis
It is a disorder wherein skin thickens. Regrettably, it is a condition which could develop in any person since it is due to parasitic worm forms being transmitted on being bitten by mosquitoes. As a result, it is rather common in the tropics & African area. A somewhat diverse type of the disorder arises via skin contact with particular forms of soils. In several Ethiopian areas, nearly six percent of the populace ails from such condition and is the commonest of disablements worldwide. Widespread endeavours are on-going & it is anticipated that it would be ably annihilated from earth by the end of the next decade.
2. Myositis Ossificans Progressiva
Also termed as FOP (Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva) is a rather atypical condition causing portions of the body (like tendon, muscle, ligament) to transform into bones on facing damage. It could mostly be causal to fusing together of damage-ridden joint areas which hinder movements. Regrettably, operative excision of the bony growths is ineffectual as the body’s self-healing mechanism re-forms the excised bone. Making the issue even direr is the rarity of this condition hence often erroneously diagnosed as being cancer which leads to physicians biopsying these growth that triggers shoddier development of such bony lump formations. Harry Eastlack’s case is the much-remembered one wherein the extent of ossification that his body underwent by his death left him with solely his lip areas capable of movement. The man’s skeletal remains are displayed in the Mutter Museum and continue to grab much attention due to the uniqueness of his condition. This disorder is incurable.
1.Lutz-Lewandowsky epidermodysplasia verruciformis
Additionally known as Epidermodysplasia verruciformis, is a exceptionally rare heritable condition wherein wart formations surface over the skin.Usually the foot & hand areas are affected & even though it could commence anywhere between forty-five & sixty-five years of age, it usually arise in those amid the age group of 1-20 years old. There isn’t any identified effectual therapy for the condition although surgical intervention could be deployed for wart removal. Regrettably, post-surgery these horrendous wart formations would re-surface. It is approximated that those ailing from this disorder would require a minimum of duo surgical interventions annually for removing them on every instant they recurred. During 2007, a person ailing from this condition underwent surgical procedure for the same & an eye-popping removal of 13 lbs of warts recorded – excision of ninety-five percent of warts was accomplished during the surgical procedure.
