The tragic infant is expected to only live a few days as a result of
suffering from the rare birth defect cyclopia.
The boy, whose family chose to release the image, was born at a
private hospital to an Egyptian mother in the town of El
Senbellawein, northern Egypt.
It is reported that doctors think the deformities could be the result
of medicines taken by the mother or from radiation exposure.
The infant has a full head of hair, large ears and other deformities
on his body says Dr Ahmed Badruddin, who is supervising the baby’s
condition.
Dr Ahmed Badruddin said due to the infant’s condition, he was only
expected to survive for short time...
In recent years there have been a number of reported cases of the
cyclopia occurring in humans and animals.
In 2012 a kitten was born with an eye in the centre of its head with
no developed nose.
And in 2006 a baby girl in India passed away one day after being
born as a result of the condition and her brain being fused into a
single hemisphere.
The condition occurs once in every 250 embryos but often sees the
pregnancy fail to last a full term.
