Brooke
Greenberg is a 20-year-old girl trapped inside of the body of an
infant. She is a medical mystery for the doctors, and it would appear
that The Curious Case of Benjamin Button may not be far off as we might
think. Brooke weighs just 16 pounds (7 kilograms) and she has the mental
capacity of a toddler. Find out why this 20 year-old girl hasn’t grown
an inch since she was 4 years old right here.
Brooke
was born on January 8, 1993, she is 76 cm tall, and even though she may
look like a small toddler, she is actually a 20-year old girl. Her case
has amazed and dazzled some of the most renown doctors and specialists,
and she is considered to be a link to finding out the secret of how to
stop the aging process, or even just delay it.
Even
though she keeps aging, her mental capacity but also her exterior
aspect remains that of an infant due to the fact that her body is not
able to mature properly. Up till the age of 4, Brooke had developed
slower than normal, but she developed nonetheless. The doctors have not
been able to identify what this 20-year-old toddler suffers from, and
there has been no formal diagnosis. The problem that prevents Brooke
from developing normally is simply referred to as Syndrome X (that
sounds like something out of the X Files).
20-Year-Old Infant – A Medical Mystery
If
you think that the fact that this girl doesn’t age is amazing, wait
till you hear some more information from her medical history! Throughout
her life, Brooke has suffered from quite a few extremely dangerous
medical emergencies which would normally pose a threat to her life.
Amazingly, the girl recovered miraculously and without outside
interventions. She simply healed on her own.
Before
even turning 4, Brooke made it out alive from a surgery for seven
perforated stomach ulcers (and not many people survive that). After
having this surgery, Brooke suffered from a brain seizure, which also
led to a stroke. Normally, a stroke would leave some traces, if not
physically, at least on a cat-scan or MRI, but two weeks after the
seizure, the girl’s brain looked like nothing had ever happened.
When
she was just 4 years old, Brooke slipped into a 14-days-long coma due
to a massive tumor inside her brain. By the time she woke up, the tumor
had miraculously disappeared. So, not only is this girl not aging, but
she also has an amazing accelerated self-healing ability.
