Disturbing photos of a baby suffering
from a strange deficiency that increases her body size excessively has
emerged with doctors putting heads together to tackle the ailment.

Now a paediatrician at the nearby Orchid Medical Centre has formulated a number of theories about what could be behind Aliya's ever-expanding waistline.
Dr Bhavya Kumar has examined Aliya and believes she could be suffering from Prader-Willi syndrome - a rare disorder characterised by learning difficulties, growth abnormalities, and obsessive eating.
He said: "There could be some hormonal imbalance, there could some metabolic disease. There can be some genetic causes. It could be because of some tumour. But because there is a history of sibling loss with similar complaints, that points towards a genetic cause.
"So, I strongly suspect that this could be a case of some genetic disorder, most probably Prader-Willi syndrome, which is a very rare disorder.”
