Birth defects are quite common around the world,
some more than others. Every once in a while we
see one that just catches our attention and makes
us think back to whether or not we’ve seen it
before. In this case, it appears to be a rare
deformity that caused a baby born with ears under
its chin. The image, taken from the popular photo
site Imgur shows a newborn baby who was born
with a few cranial birth defects, such as a deformed
mouth and jawline, but more prominently the
placement of the ears stands out.
The placement of the ears in this case is somewhat
reminiscent of where gills would be on an aquatic
animal, or fish. Perhaps they simply failed to
migrate to the side of the head after they were
formed. In the first trimester of pregnancy, the ears
form along the jaw line out of cartilage. At some
point during the second trimester the ears typically
migrate to their correct place on the side of the
head. This is the normal process that appears to
have failed during the second trimester, which
resulted in the low placement of the ears as well as
the deformed jaw line. The Mayo Clinic states that
by 18 weeks of gestation, a fetus should be able to
hear, as well as have fully formed ears.
In the case of the child in this picture, it is not
known if the child was born prematurely or if it
survived post-birth. Details about when and where
this child were born are still unclear, as not much
information appears to be public aside from this
picture.[img][/img]
