The Newborn Who Looks Like An 80-year-old

A baby boy who looks like an 80-year-old man actually has a rare condition which causes him to age quickly. Born in Magura, Bangladesh, he has wrinkles, hollow eyes, a shrunken body and a thick layer of hair on his back.

Local doctors were left stunned as to what the cause of his ageing is - but they believe he has progeria. The condition - which affects just one in four million - often restricts children from having a normal life and causes their body to age faster than it should.
