Each of the boy’s hands weighed almost 18 pounds, preventing him from doing basic tasks such as tying his shoelaces or feeding himself. The deformity even kept him out of school, as teachers feared it would frighten the other children. When he did show up at school, he was often bullied by other kids. For years, doctors were befuddled by what they saw & were worried that the enlarged hands may have serious health consequences. They feared it may negatively affect his cardiovascular system & be life-threatening. But as Kaleem’s story became more & more known, however, doctors from south India recognized his condition as a rare disease called macrodactyly. Dr. Raja Sabapathy performed a series of surgeries aimed at reducing the growth plates in his hands that, over time, should reduce the size of Kaleem's hands. 9: Roona Begum Roona Begum was just a baby when she was diagnosed with a rare condition known as hydrocephalus. This means that fluid was building up around her brain, causing her head to swell up to 37 inches; well beyond what's normal for a human. Doctors actually believed Roona had little chance of surviving when she was first born. But according to a report, the four-year old child—whose parents earn a modest living in northeast India—received the money she needed for an emergency surgery through the help of a crowdfunding campaign. It was primarily a group of Norwegian students that helped raise the money needed for the surgery, which ultimately resulted in a series of procedures where doctors were able to drain an excess of ten liters of fluid from her head. The result was that the circumference of her head was significantly reduced to 23 inches. While Roona was not expected to even survive the surgeries, she lived to see her baby brother born. Doctors also performed reconstructive surgery to reduce the size of her skull, which had also grown due to the fluid buildup in her brain. They're now hoping for a full recovery so that Roona can begin living a normal life. 8: Rudy Santos Nicknamed the “Octoman,” Rudy Santos suffers from an odd deformity called Craniopagus, or by its less scientific name, “parasitic twin.” The 69-year old Philippines native has an extra pair of arms & legs attached to his abdomen, which belonged to the twin whom he absorbed during his mother’s pregnancy. In addition to the extra arms & legs, Santos’s deformity also sports extra nipples & part of a head with some hair on it. The condition has caused his right leg to stop growing, making it impossible for him to walk without crutches. But somewhat surprisingly, Santos opted not to have surgery in 2008, despite doctors being determined that they could successfully remove the growth. He states that he'd grown fond of the attachments & did not want to have them removed. Rudy Santos is the longest known survivor with this condition. In fact, he made his living during the 1970s & '80s by appearing in freak shows before taking a ten-year hiatus. 7: Abby & Brittany Hensel Abby & Brittany Hensel are conjoined twins currently living in New Germany, Minnesota. The pair gives the appearance of sharing one body while having separate heads. They do have, however, have two separate hearts & separate other vital organs such as stomachs, spines, & lungs. At 26-years old, the pair has become extremely adept at functioning as conjoined twins. Simple activities such as running, swimming, & hair brushing must be carefully coordinated as each twin controls her own half of the body. They even obtained each of their driver's licenses as teenagers through sophisticated & coordinated efforts; Abigail would control the devices on the right while Brittany controlled the left. Both controlled the steering wheel. They faced several complications early on in their lives—such as scoliosis & height disparities—but nevertheless, have been able to function as normal as possible. 6: Didier Montalvo Didier Montalvo of Colombia suffers from an abnormality called congenital melanocytic nevus, in which a giant mole forms somewhere on the body. In this particular case, a mole formed on his back, giving him the appearance of having a turtle shell. This deformity earned him the nickname “turtle boy” & this mole accounts for about 20% of his body weight. Reports state that Montalvo’s mole was removed in 2011, as doctors feared it may become malignant. The surgery proved successful & the youngster is able to live a normal life. He has even decided to use his newfound health as an inspiration
