Baby Born With a Frog Head


This is really disturbing, but I felt I had to share it. It's not really a baby born with a frog head, but a birth defect called anencephaly.

According to Wikipedia, anencephaly is a disorder that results from a neural tube defect that happens when the cephalic or head end of the neural tube fails to close, resulting in an absence of a large part of the brain, skull and scalp.

Children born with this disorder rarely survive birth, and are missing a forebrain, the largest part of the brain, which among other things is used for conscious thought. So it's not really a baby with a frog head, but it kind of looks like it, don't you think?
