Tragic cyclops baby born with one eye after mum was exposed to mercury during pregnancy

An Indonesian woman shocked doctors when she gave birth to a cyclops baby with one eye but sadly lost her seven hours later. Atana Ariyanto and his wife Suriyanti from Java island welcomed their fifth child, a girl, at the Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Hospital of Mandailing Natal district in North Sumatra on Thursday afternoon through a natural birth. But the baby, who weighed 5lbs, was born with only one eye in the middle of her forehead and a missing nose, although her other organs were complete. Suriyanti hadn t undergone an ultrasound and was so shocked to see her daughter that she, along with her husband, shut herself away in the room. Doctors had put the baby under intensive care where a team of medical staff monitored her condition every 15 minutes, but she tragically passed away at the same night. Dr Syarifuddin Nasution, head of the Mandailing Natal District Health Office said: The baby girl was born in a condition of abnormalities.
