Aidan Jackoviak Smith was born prematurely with a growth on his face and at 3-weeks-old he started to suffer regular fits that left him brain damaged

Doctors remain unable to diagnose him but hope to work out what is wrong with him by a process of elimination

They now suspect he suffers with CLOVES Syndrome, a rare condition that causes blood vessel, skin and spinal abnormalities

A two-year-old boy who suffers with a severe facial deformity and may never learn to walk or talk has baffled doctors with his undiagnosable condition.

Despite suffering with a number of distinct symptoms, medical experts are unable to pinpoint exactly what is wrong with Aidan Jackoviak Smith.

His mother, Vikki, 40, says that specialists are now forced to work out what is wrong with him by a process of elimination as test after test comes back negative.


At first they thought it was Proteus Syndrome, but after a biopsy six months ago, the results came back negative,’ Vikki told ITV’s This Morning. ‘But now they think it might be CLOVES syndrome.’

Proteus Syndrome is a genetic condition that John Merrick, the Elephant Man, suffered from.

CLOVES Syndrome is also a genetic condition and causes blood vessel, skin and spinal abnormalities.




Aidan was born eight weeks prematurely weighing 4lb 10oz on Boxing day 2010 after an uneventful pregnancy.

He was immediately whisked away by nurses at Newcastle’s Royal Victoria Infirmary because he was premature.

Vikki and husband Karl, 35, had no idea that their newborn son was in fact very ill with a rare condition.

Aidan had been born with a growth on his face, back and leg and three weeks later he started to experience

seizures with alarming regularity. Doctor then broke the news that he had suffered brain damage.

‘That’s when it hit home,’ said father Karl. ‘The enormity of it hit me when the words ‘brain damage’ were mentioned.

'We realised he might never walk or talk and were worried he would never recognise us. It’s just terrifying.’

The parents, who also have a son called Daniel from Vikki's previous marriage, were also overwhelmed when doctors gave them CPR lessons in case Aidan stopped breathing.

‘You suddenly realise the responsibility of the little life you are looking after,’ explained Karl.

Britain has the highest rate of genetic birth defect, some suggests that it is as a result of the industrial revolution. Most of them were exposed to dangerous chemicals and particles during this period that damaged some chromosomes.I feel sorry for the boy though.

I just hope sai oyinbo never start to mutate oh.

ALL Parents should learn CPR. Dont wait until your child is diagnosed with something.

This poor kid looks like the product of a GMO diet. I pray doctors can help him.

whites are mutants,they mutated from blacks thousands of years ago,so their genetic make up still has some major flaws unlike blacks that has the genetic ability to counter many abnormalities,but they ll never talk about it

omg omg! I hope he is not in permanent pain! Ahhhh...after suffering for 9 months. God please, send down a miracle for this child.

igboezue: whites are mutants,they mutated from blacks thousands of years ago,so their genetic make up still has some major flaws unlike blacks that has the genetic ability to counter many abnormalities,but they ll never talk about it

Your point being the blacks with mutations are left to die thus leaving only the strongest ones to procreate. It has nothing to do with years old genetics.

Just feel an undeniable pity for this poor little boy...

smothly: I pray God help the little cutie
