Baby Born with Rare Genetic Disorder in Madhya Pradesh
A baby in India was born with a very rare skin condition called Collodion.
The baby's skin looks like it's covered in a tight, shiny shell that can crack and peel.
The baby was born early and is having trouble breathing, needing help from oxygen.
The mother had regular check-ups during pregnancy, and doctors thought everything was fine.
This surprised everyone, as two scans showed the baby was healthy.
Doctors are now taking care of the baby in the hospital, but this condition is very uncommon.
A baby with a rare genetic condition, suspected to be Collodion, was born prematurely in Madhya Pradesh.
The baby was born with severe deformities and is in critical condition, requiring oxygen support.
The mother, Priyanka Patel, had routine check-ups throughout her pregnancy, with no warnings detected.
Two ultrasound scans prior to delivery indicated a healthy fetus, contradicting the baby's condition.
Doctors at Gandhi Memorial Hospital are treating the baby, with only one or two such cases reported yearly.
