PHOTOS: Meet Cheerful 17-Months-Old Baby Girl Born Without A Nose
Meet
an adorable 17-month-old baby, Tessa Evans, who was born with a rare congenital
disorder, arhinia, that means the girl does not have a nose.
Arihnia
could lead to a partial or complete absence of the nose at birth. It is an
extremely rare condition, with few reported cases in the history of modern
medicine. Tessa’s parents were notified about their baby’s condition during the
20-week scan which showed an abnormally flat facial profile. However, the next
several tests revealed stable development of the healthy fetus.
While
talking to journalist, baby mother, Gráinne Evans, said she had no idea about
Tessa’s problem until the girl draw the first breath. She said, "I was so
excited to have a natural birth for the first time, but as soon as I saw her
face I knew something was wrong. I was in shock and I just froze. The midwife
cut the cord before I could even say anything and whisked her away from me.
There were alarm bells ringing and I was so frightened I couldn’t stand without
fainting."
