10 Children Born With Incredibly Rare Features

If you have some unique eye color or shiny hair, then it’s likely that you get special attention and are talked about for that wherever you go. While most of the rare body features add something positive to our looks, some aren’t that fortunate.

These unbelievably rare features are due to certain birth defects. If you’ll see them for real, you can’t help but take notice of them. These cases include children born with a tail and worshipped as a reincarnated god, numerous limbs, mermaid-like legs, an additional head attached, and without eyes. All of these features are troublesome to deal with in real life and even prove fatal.

Here we’ll take a look at such special children born with extraordinarily rare features.

Born on 8 January 1993, Brooke Megan Greenberg was an American who didn’t age physically and mentally throughout her life despite her age.  She was nearly 2.5 feet and weighed 7.3 kg and her mental age was estimated to be almost 9 months to 1 year.

Manar Maged was an Egyptian baby who was born with a rare birth defect called craniopagus parasiticus in which an embryo begins splitting into identical twins but fails to complete the process. And often, the second one turns into an extra limb or trunk but in Manar’s case, it turned into a second head.

Manar’s underdeveloped conjoined twin ‘Islaam’ could smile and blink but had to be removed for her survival. On 19 Feb 2005, the 10-month-old went through a successful 13-hour surgery. Out of the 10 similar cases, she was the only one to survive the surgical procedure. Sadly, 14 months after her surgery on 25 March 2006, she died. (3.2)

The most incredibly amazing yet true fact is that her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother also have the same distinctive ‘birthmark’. So she has most likely inherited this feature. Her pictures also went viral over the internet last year in 2017. (3.3)
