Khadija Khatoon Khadija, 21, from Kolkata, West Bengal, Eastern
India, was born without a face and her mouth is a small slit on the left
side of her face. When she was born, concerned doctors were baffled by
her condition for months. Although it has never been confirmed, they
believe she has a form of neurofibromatosis, a rare deformity that
causes tumours to grow along nerves. Medics told Khadija and her family
there was nothing they could do after extra skin continued to grow out
of control.
"She was born at home but she didn't open her eyes. She was born with
thick heavy eyelids and she looked different to my other children at
birth but we didn't think anything of it until we realised she couldn't
open her eyes properly." hermother Amina Bibi,50, said.
"When we took her to the hospital she was admitted for six months and
they did lots of tests but doctors eventually told us there was nothing
they could do. Because the doctors told us there was nothing they could
do we never went back to them. And as Khadija got older she refused any
help. Doctors told us when she was a baby that if she attempted surgery
she could die, so we have lived with that fear. Now that Khadija is much
older she has decided herself that she doesn't want to have surgery.
She doesn't want to risk dying."
Khadija said:
"I'm made this way and I accept it graciously. I do what I can. If this
is how I'm meant to be then I live with it. It's not a matter of coping,
I just live as I am"
She continued: "I don't have any real friends but I have my family. My
family is my only friend and I love them dearly. My parents are my
world. I don't talk to strangers. This is who I am and this is the life I
live and I fill my days sitting and thinking, talking to my mother
about life and going for walks near my home. I like drinking tea. I am
happy in this life"
"If only the government would see my position and help me, I would like that"
Dr Anirban Deep Banerjee, a neurosurgeon from Apollo Hospital, Kolkata, said:
"I believe she is suffering from Neurofibromatosis but to confirm we
would need to do a gene test. There's a possibility she has a tumour
inside her face which could be fatal.
Right now there is no way of knowing if she has tumour inside the extra skin and if left they could kill her."
"If she's willing we would need to do a lot of tests to determine how successful surgery would be."
