Don't look if you have a weak stomach.

Your eye was jutting out, your head was shaped like a 3 leafed clover, and your joints were deformed?

Not exaclty like that. The eye problem is the easiest thing to fix, along with the skull problem.

The joints are extremly hard to reconstruct. I luckily didn't have the joint deformities. (or I wouldn't be typing this most likely)

:P Well, as much as I hate medical research, I would have to say good for you.

LOL that looks hilarious!

Ewwww... the joints shouldn't be part of the same condition. You only get cloverleaf skulls when the bones in the skull fuse prematurely, but the brain is still growing. That childs probably blind.

That is just plain gross.

The actual syndrome, is called "Craniosynostosis".

It's actually (in low to med-high severity cases), easily fixed. The mortality rate is really quite low. =)

I had the same "disorder"? Lol.

But yeah, People always ask me what the scar is on my skull, when I cut my hair real short.

I feel a tad sorry for them, but the surgery is pretty painless. (From what I've been told)
