In South Africa, a 20-year-old woman was born a daughter with “Benjamin Batton Syndrome” – a wheelchair, in which the body makes prematurely. This is reported by Edition The Sun.
The child was born at the end of August. The girl was born with deformed hands and wrinkled skin. Doctors diagnosed her Getchinson-Gilford syndrome – an exceptionally rare genetic disease of children with clinical features of premature aging, which is also called “Benjamin Battle’s Disease” in honor of the film’s character. One of the eight million babies is born with this pathology.
The young mother was taken to the hospital only after childbirth. “There were told us that she was disabled. During her birth, I noticed that there was something strange with her. She did not cry and breathed with the ribs,” said grandmother newborns.
