A baby born with one eye in the middle of his forehead in Egypt

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT 
This baby is born in the Northeastern town of El Senbellawein in Egypt, having only one lidless eye and no nose. 

A baby is suffering from cyclopia, a congenital disorder characterized by the failure of the embryonic forebrain to divide the orbits of the eye into two cavities. An unusual birth defect is named after the mythological giants with a single large eye in the middle of their foreheads. 

Cyclopia is one of the rarest forms of birth defects and children born with this condition often die shortly after birth.
