A baby boy with one eye in the center of his forehead and no nose was born in India last week. He survived only one day.Doctors were shocked when they delivered the infant by cesarean section from the 34-year-old mother, Veena Chavan.
A sonogram during Chavan's 32nd week of pregnancy revealed the baby was hydrocephalic, meaning water was accumulating on his brain. According to the doctor's report, medical staff wanted to perform an intrauterine shunting procedure but could not because of the advanced stage of her term.
India saw another cyclopic baby born in the city of Chennai. The baby girl survived and was taken home by her parents. No recent reports offer any further information about her survival.
A year earlier, a one-eyed baby girl was born prematurely in Russia but died almost immediately after being delivered.
Reports claimed her head, shoulders and back were covered with thick hair and a "small trunk" was growing above her eye.
