A heart-rendering picture of a poor newborn baby born with one eye has been released by medical experts in Egypt. The eye is central to the face, giving a ‘Cyclops’-like appearance to the unfortunate child, who isn’t expected to live much past the first week of its life.<\/p>\n

The baby was born with a whole host of other mutations and deformities – including ‘Cyclopia’ – and it’s\u00a0thought to be\u00a0due to\u00a0exposure to radiation inside the womb or due to a combination of different medicines taken by the mother during pregnancy.<\/p>\n

As many as four in every thousand children suffer the ‘one eyed’ condition, but almost none go to full term, making this birth very unusual indeed.<\/p>\n
