Today we show you ten of the worst and most rarest birth defects. 10.- Anencephaly Anencephaly is probably one of the strangest conditions in many terms since it is the absence of the brain of the spinal cord. From the Latin word ‘Without an encephalon’ the causes of the defect are still unknown to scientists though it is theorized that a lack of Folic Acid, or Vitamin B9, plays an important role. Rarest, birth, defects, most, bizarre, disorders, horrible, defect, rare, shocking, people, born, worst, syndrome, world, medicine Anencephaly manifests in around 1 in a 1000 babies though since most of them end in miscarriage only 1 in 10.000 is born only to die in hours or days, though extraordinary cases exist such as Nickolas Coke from Pueblo, Colorado who lived over 3 years. No treatment exists to treat Anencephaly on any level so the options are usually reduced to either abortion or perinatal treatment for those who wish to see their baby’s face even if it is only for a few minutes of love before the baby dies. 9.- Harlequin-type ichthyosis A very rare and strange skin condition where the skin of the newborn is a very thick armor-like pattern separated by deep cracks. Harlequin-type ichthyosis is caused by a hereditary genetic mutation carried by recessive genes. illness, strange, genetic, medical, birth disorders, birth defects, bizarre birth disorders, worst birth defects, rarest birth defects, Anencephaly,The name of this terrible condition comes from the shape of the patterns which are similar to those of an Harlequin. Though only present in 1 of every 500.000 newborns the condition is quite aggressive as the disorder makes the baby extremely vulnerable to skin diseases and infections. Though in the past this condition was a death sentence today, thanks to treatments and antibiotics, the survival is quite high and those suffering of the condition can lead normal lives. 8.- Lamellar Ichthyosis Similar to Harlequin-type ichthyosis this genetic disorder is characterized by hyperkeratosis which implies the extreme production of skin. The excess skin may take the form of fish scales that cumulates in joints. It is present in 1 in every 600.000 and is generated by an autosomal genetic disorder. The baby will be born with a collodion membrane that once discarded will reveal the condition. Though neither life-threatening nor deadly it can generate severe overheating, dehydration or hypothermia on the infant. There is no cure treatment with eyedrops and moisturizing are known to make the condition livable. 7.- Achondroplasia Is a genetic mutation and one of the many causes of the condition known as ‘Dwarfism’. A quite rare birth disorder this condition is known for being present in 1 of 25.000 births though due to being a condition that only causes short stature it has an incredibly good survival rate.

Hormone treatment and ‘Limb-Lengthening’ are plausible though non have provided to be successful. 6.- Ectopia Cordis An incredibly rare condition present in 8 of every million births, Ectopia Cordis is an abnormality where the heart of the newborn is partially or totally outside the thorax and sometimes joined by other organs. It belongs to group of birth defects known as Amniotic Band Syndrome caused by the rupture of the amnion. illness, strange, genetic, medical, birth disorders, birth defects, bizarre birth disorders, worst birth defects, rarest birth defects, Anencephaly, Ectopia Cordis is really hard to treat as is common that the condition is accompanied by either major heart or other organ defect and the newborn rarely survives a few hour; though in some extremely rare situations, such as the case of Chris Wall, who lives today. 5.- Hydrocephalus Once believed to be the accumulation of water in the brain, this condition is at its most lethal when present as a genetic disorder since it is present from birth.
