Holoprosencephaly

[TheGenMed]

The range in brain malformation is similarly wide ranging from mild intellectual or developmental delay to severe (with the most severe being the alobar form as represented above). In the most severe form there is no separation of the hemispheres of the brain. This is often undiagnosed in pregnancy and when it is, a family has every right to make the decision to go forward (or not) with the pregnancy. It is thoughtless, tactless and shows an utter lack of humanity to say otherwise

[TheGenMed]

Also for thos of you interested, holoprosencephaly is a condition that is extremely variable in spectrum. It is a failure of the midline structures to fuse during development that results in characteristic brain and facial malformations. The range in facial characteristics can be as severe as a single or fused eyeball as seen in the above photo to as mild as having a single central incisor with no other features (often undiagnosed).

[TheGenMed]

holoprosencepahly had a mother who drank. In fact, this is likely not the case, since the correlation between the two with alcohol being a causal factor has been weak at best.

[TheGenMed]

Holoprosencephaly can also be familial or hereditary in nature caused by specific genetic changes (mutations), several of which have been identified. Whoever said this was caused by an alcoholic mother was likely far off base. It has been proposed that alcohol use, as well as maternal diabetes mat both be factors for increased risk along with a number of other environmental and genetic factors just like being overweight increases your risk for heart disease but doesn't mean everyone with

@TheGenMed Trisomy 13, Sonic Hedgehog and FAS are the big three to remember for medical licensing in the US.

[TheGenMed]

It's unfortunate that many are quick to jump to conclusions without doing their research. This condition is actual the most common congenital brain malformation occurring as often as 1 in 250 pregnancies, however the majority go on to spontaneously abort (miscarry). It can be caused by a number of factors, many of which are not yet well understood. The most common causes are chromosome abnormalities.

[mysteh1]

it makes my heart break. How long can these kiddos live?



[tanakk9]

@mysteh1 Depending on the cause and severity, it can range from a few days or weeks to a healthy life. The child in this video probably would not survive long because his nasal cavity in within his mouth, and he would probably choke within a few days to a week and die. My brother has the condition, and he just is slowed in production of movement. He is 9 going on 10 but moves like that of a 7 month old. He can move, but has to teach himself to. He is expected to have a full, healthy life.

[cubophobie]

Its not a live, its a suffering...

I would kill him.

[thecolaratlady]

We are so quick to end an animal's suffering but we want humans to suffer...if pre natal tests didnt catch it,1 good lethal injection,,boom, done, over. abortion if it did catch it.i so agree with you custardaghost

[leebenjamin1976]

Is there a English version about Cyclopia that doesn't sound like a robot & has more photos of different Cyclopes babies ?

[Bangbangareenee]

I am 24 found out i was pregnant at 2 months, just had my baby a week ago, she hasn't been properly diagnosed yet as they have to be 100% sure with tests for my and my partners sake, they know what's going on they sat me down yesterday and told me exactly what I was in for. She has a few facial abnormalities, I couldn't really tell at first by looking at her but now its starting to come together by listening to what the doctors look out for In her condition. It Has been the hardest 5 days of my

[custardaghost]

@Bangbangareenee

Watching videos like this is really going to help you then. The fuck is wrong with you? This isn't some facial disorder, its a manifestation of a complete failure of brain development. Which you would have understood if you'd have listened.

[jeanniealbert]

He said it : TOXOPLASMOSIS. Get rid of your cats

[kathybrisky]

I saw a baby like this once. It was so sad. They told us the mom took drugs but that was not true or it would not be so rare.

[etonks]

WOW! that's awful! I remember poor little Cy. I would never allow my child to be born like this. If they can ID it in the 5th to 6th week, it is easily ended before it becomes someone who is doomed to live a short, empty, miserable life. I believe, as a mother, it's my job to do everything I can to prevent that from happening and that's the lesson some of us learn.

Toxoplasmosis comes from kitty poop! ASPIRIN!?!? Sheesh!

[MsAngie2004]

@CyJoZa I feel so sorry for you and I can't believe that you would even make a remark like that to me and you don't even know me.I am not an alcoholic I do not do drugs and never have so that it far from the reason i had a child born like that.I have often questioned why and I don't know why but i want you to know that you just made my night really harder because i have been missing her so bad lately because she died close to Thanksgiving.I hope that you never get treated the way you did me.

[BluesHarp60]

Anyone making stupid remarks about these Videos is even sicker than the people who have put these Vids up in the first Place!

[1963topaz]

@BluesHarp60 PUTTING THESE VIDEOS UP IS NOT SICK , IT CAN BE ONE WAY OF TEACHING THE IGNORANT AS I HAVE SEEN ON HERE , WHAT IS ACTUALLY WRONG WITH THESE BABIES, SO TO SAY THE ONES MAKING STUPID SICK REMARKS IS 100% CORRECT , BUT PUTTING THESE VIDEOS UP TO SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE IS ALSO 100% OK , BECAUSE IT MAY BE THEIR WAY OF COPING AND GODS WAY OF TEACHING.THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[robloxpwnmaster3]

[LOLBUTTPOO]

Poor poor baby. 

[BurbonPL]

Yeah, I've learn english for about 8 years, and I understood only 20% of what he said ;S

[WarcraftRulesGaming]

that stick on his face (showed by blue arrow) is the eye???????????

[1958boomergirl]

@WarcraftRulesGaming The tube that we saw indicated by the blue arrow is a proboscis-like structure. The amlformed eye is right below the tubelike structure.

[WarcraftRulesGaming]

o.O creepy il have nightmares

[aunihum]

i dont know why people would say bad things about this baby.. it's a BABY.. get it? BABY.... come on say it with me now BABYYYYYY..!

what if your child has this condition? would you say bad things to them huh?? please stop being so immature. why do you guys even watch this video and comment bad things about it that we all know that there are BILLIONS other videos on youtube. if you dont like it then dont watch it.

go find something else better to do rather than commenting on a SICK BABY.

[custardaghost]

@aunihum

It isn't a baby - it is a gone-wrong colelction of cells, it has no consciousness, no chance of independent life.

If my "child" had this condition I would have got rid of it asap.

Far from other commenters being immature you are the one who needs to grow up and learn some harsh but real facts of life.

[tanakk9]

@custardaghost well actually, it is because the the brain formed wrong that the face did. My brother has the condition, but at a milder state. He is just slowed in life, he has to teach himself to do things, like walk and talk for instance. He will be completely normal once he gets older. Though sadly not all children with this are so fortunate, and not all prenatal care can see this before it happens.Not all children with this have no chance

[dianemerq]

@aunihum sad i know but some people are just stupid and just dont get it

[ernesdee2o916]

I can't quit hear but is that a nose or two little eyes in the middle? I hear the word cyclops but that looks like a nose though.

[Hmc1610]

I think any one who has anything bad to say about a child with HPE should Contact with me On facebook "holly tipton" send me a fucking message im 18 and Lost My daughter of three months to HPE or holo. and if any of you mother fuckers have anything to say about any sick baby ill show you what its like to be laying in a fucking Hospital bed. FUCK YOU FAGS! . you wanna see a pic of her go to my channel and look at her sucking a pacy SOMTHING THEY SAID SHE COULDNT DO!! so go fuck yourself!!!!!!!

[thickchickcutiepie]

@Hmc1610 Get em Holly! Our angels are not freaks or retards. If you idiots would dig the shit out of your ears it clearly explains the condition grow the hell up! You assholes should find a bathtub and a razor and do the math

[MsAngie2004]

This thing as you said is a baby.You don't discard a baby like you do a piece of trash.What I would like to know is if you don't even have compassion for the families that have had to deal with this then why are you even watching? Just to make fun? You must have a really boring life and I pray that you don't ever have to face something like an illness with a child.what if you had a healthy child and then something tragic happened to disfigure that child?don't make fun of sick babies. Not classy.

[thickchickcutiepie]

@fenriz218 That's precisely what the doctor told your mom about you when you were born douche bag

[Amarinthstargazer]

@fenriz218 I don't know, dude. You have an ass for a head and your mom let you be born and live and grow up. But you're still an ass. She didn't discard you when you were born a douchenozzle with an ass for a head. But maybe she should have, because then there would be one less heartless, uncaring, unfeeling apathetic ass in the world.

[gustavoturm]

@fenriz218 If somebody had the "decency" of discarding this kind of thing, medicine wouldn't exist. =)

[fenriz218]

@MsAngie2004 I feel all for you ... my father had this condition.

[Dorminay42]

@MsAngie2004 Oh, she died. How surprising.

[ElectricShark]

@Dorminay42,

Why would you take pleasure in the fact that someone's kid is dead?

I don't understand.

[MsAngie2004]

@Dorminay42 Yes she did die but at least it wasn't because I wasn't woman enough to give her a chance at life.I stood by her for ten months that i wasn't suppost to have according to the doctors.The Lord gave her to me and he took her back.That is the problem with women like you that would abort if were you in my shoes you don't have the backbone to take care of your responsibility.I did.Better be careful you just might reap your little smart mouth remark one day when you have a child.

[CyJoZa]

@MsAngie2004 Your an alcoholic cunt, which is why your kid was born with it.

[1963topaz]

@CyJoZa YOU ARE ONE SICK ,SELFISH,UNCARING SPECIMEN OF A HUMAN BEING,IF I HAVE EVER HEARD ONE ,YOU DONT KNOW THIS WOMAN,YOU WITCH,LEAVE HER ALONE , GO TO THE LIBRARY AND RESEARCH THESE TYPE OF DISEASES AND DEFORMITIES,AND LIKE SHE SAID WATCH WHAT YOU SAY , CAUSE THE BIBLE DOES SAY WE REAP WHAT WE SOW

[sidekickanna]

@CyJoZa well well. you are like one sick person, like even saying this. it's funny, because only people who don't know a THING about this disease could say words like this.

so shut the hell up, thank you very much.

and @MsAngie2004 , do not answer those people. they are not worth it.

[tanakk9]

@CyJoZa for your information my brother was born with this, and my mother is ALLERGIC to alcohol. My brother got this problem due to a random stroke in the prenatal state. He ain't dead, and it ain't her fault. It seems you take pride it making fun of people whos children are born with something like this. For those who had it by accident, it is a privilege. For those who had no care to prevent it, it is a burden. One day your words will backfire.

[ElectricShark]

@MsAngie2004,

Here here! I agree with what you said 100 percent!

[MsAngie2004]

@ElectricShark Thank you.

[douwen50]
