In a rare case, the birth of a child with one eye and his death 45 minutes later in Egypt

Luxor Governorate, Upper Egypt, witnessed the birth of a child with one eye bearing two pupils, as the doctor in charge of childbirth said that his mother insisted on seeing him despite attempts to prevent her from seeing him due to disfigurement. 

The Egyptian newspaper "Al-Watan" quoted the doctor as saying that the mother underwent a four-dimensional x-ray during her pregnancy, which showed the presence of abnormalities in the fetus, but she did not expect or imagine it to be in this severe form.

The doctor explained that the operation took only 40 minutes, and the child died 45 minutes later, indicating that although the mother was psychologically prepared for the birth process and informed her of the child's condition, she entered a depressive phase and went through a difficult psychological crisis, and that nightmares have not left her since that time.

The 28-year-old woman in Luxor Governorate, and she has two healthy boys, gave birth to her third child after an incomplete pregnancy, as it required surgical intervention, and a cesarean delivery in the seventh month after she noticed the presence of deformities in the fetus, to give birth to an incomplete child with one eye and a socket My eye and one optic nerve.
