“The baby had no mouth, no nose, and one severely deformed eye with two pupils. The nurse continued to pull away the towel, and at first, I was relieved. The torso, arms, and little hands seemed completely normal. But the nurse continued, and then pointed to the genital area of the baby, where I saw the child had both sets of genitalia and, according to the nurse, no anus.“

Oh gods. I'm shocked it made it through gestation. It says the baby died in under a day - I'm wondering how it lasted THAT long... how did it breathe??

Sean continues to write that the baby was still alive and began twitching its arms and kicking its legs while he stood there. However, due to the absence of a mouth and nose, the staff could do nothing but wait for the baby to pass away from suffocation.

According to babymed.com, there are several known causes of cyclopia, all of which are related to high amount of toxins in the body during the formation of the fetus.

The mother of this baby was said to live in the bush, many kilometers away from the hospital, and it’s possible that she may have ingested some sort of toxic plant.

In 2011, a cyclopic baby was born in India but survived for only one day, despite having a mouth. Another cyclopic baby was born in India in 2006 and managed to survive for one month.

At the end of his post, Sean shares what he thought after seeing the child:
