Description
This is a baby that suffers from anencephaly. From Wikipedia:Anencephaly is a cephalic disorder that results from a neural tube defect that occurs when the cephalic (head) end of the neural tube fails to close, usually between the 23rd and 26th day of pregnancy, resulting in the absence of a major portion of the brain, skull, and scalp. Children with this disorder are born without a forebrain, the largest part of the brain consisting mainly of the cerebral hemispheres (which include the isocortex, which is responsible for higher level cognition, i.e., thinking). The remaining brain tissue is often exposed - not covered by bone or skin.To learn more, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AnencephalyThis video was taken from a mobile phone in a Kurdish hospital. The cause of this was the use of chemical weapons on the parents and grandparents' used by Saddam Hussein in the late '80s.
