TL;DR Summary

A 58-year-old man suffers from prosopometamorphopsia, a rare neurological-visual disorder causing him to see every face as demonic, with severely stretched features and deep grooves. Researchers at Dartmouth College detailed his case in The Lancet, noting that the man didn't have delusional beliefs about the people around him. The cause is unknown, but a cyst was found in his brain, similar to other cases. There is no known treatment, and the condition may eventually go away for some, but for others, it's more or less permanent.
