A baby boy's head has swollen to more than three times its normal size
due to a medical condition. Two-year-old Emon, from southern Bangladesh,
has a head that weighs 20 lbs (9kg) - the same weight as an average
one-year-old boy.
Emon was delivered by Caesarean section with a head that was slightly
bigger than usual, but in the past two years it continued to expand.
The huge weight of his head leaves the toddler unable to talk, walk or
even move his limbs - meaning his parents have to take care of him
constantly.
Doctors have told Emon's parents if he is taken abroad for foreign
treatment, medics could help him.... But they say they are too poor to
go to another country.
