Baby born with two ‘noses’ Boy has two tubes growing out of his face

A BABY has been born with two tubes growing out of his face instead of a nose.

The little boy’s strange condition is caused by a rare genetic deformity called Patau syndrome that occurs once in every 10,000 to 15,000 births.

Named Angelito – which means “little angel” in Spanish – the tot is now waiting for an operation to give him a normal nose.
His parents – mum Lorena Rodriguez, 20, and an unnamed 25-year-old father - are constantly at his bedside.

Angelito was transferred from his home in Nuevo Chimbote, Peru, to a hospital in the capital Lima, 300 miles away, where he will undergo an operation to treat the malformation.

Neonatal care boss Carlos Arrestegui Ramos said: “He doesn’t have difficulty breathing now, but he will need plastic surgery.”
He added that further tests would be needed to determine how else the boy’s mutation had affected his body.
