This girl was born with Apert syndrome and been through hell

9-year-old girl named Kyra Yates (Kira Yates) have suffered from childhood nightmares hospital, and all thanks to the innate Apert syndrome, which was caused by a chromosomal defect. Apert syndrome is caused by abnormal development of the skull, which is associated with syndactyly of hands and feet (fused together). To save the girl, doctors had to break the bones of her skull and rebuild them again, so that she could live a normal life. Since childhood, the girl suffered 14 serious operations and visited the doctor 27 times a month. As a result, operations have corrected her skull.





In children with Apert syndrome are observed wide-set eyes bulging, teeth problems, "palate", fused fingers and toes, as these children are often mentally retarded
