Very rare deformities, babies carry two faces

The story of a baby who looks like a mask of birth defects in the face jaw has attracted the attention of millions of people.

The fate of a Chinese child with birth defects in his face jaw has attracted the attention of millions of people. The baby was born in Hunan Province and suffered a cracking of the muscles across his face, forming two large slots that pulled from his mouth to the ear. Because of this distortion, Huikang looks like carrying two faces. The boy was nicknamed "mask boy" because he looked like a mask for 7 years.

Huikang suffered a cracking of the muscles across his face, forming two large slits pulled from his mouth to his ears.

Baby Huikang was born on March 4, 2009 in a modest economic family. Unlike other mothers who met their children for the first time, they were extremely happy, and Yi Lianxi - Huikang's mother - was extremely miserable. Yi Lianxi said at first the doctors avoided letting her see her immediately but when she repeated it, she would bring the baby. See you cry and Yi Lianxi also cries.

At the birth of Huikang, Yi Lianxi was only 23 years old. During 9 months, she went 3 times with ultrasound and 1 color Doppler ultrasound but the doctor did not detect the baby with any birth defects. Living in a poor rural area and still too traditional, the Huikang family was teased and looked down upon by neighbors because of the birth of a child like Huikang. In 2010 when he went to the Changsha hospital, Huikang's case was known to the public.

This is a very rare and very serious malformation.

The doctor assessed Huikang's malformations to be extremely rare and very serious, not only soft and damaged cells, but also the temporal, cheekbones, butterfly bones and upper jaw. With the amount raised to more than 1 billion, in 2016, baby Huikang had surgery twice but it is not necessary to determine the face of the boy in the next 10 years.
