"Unraveling the Enigma of Prosopometamorphopsia: A Rare Disorder's Distorted Reality"
Victor Sharrah, a 59-year-old man from Tennessee, has prosopometamorphopsia (PMO), a rare neurological disorder that causes human faces to appear as demonic figures. Fewer than 100 cases of PMO have been reported since 1904, and many doctors are unaware of the condition. Researchers used Victor's case to digitally recreate distorted human faces for a scientific study, gaining new insight into the rare disorder. The disorder is linked to dysfunction in the brain network that handles facial processing, but its triggers remain unclear. Victor's symptoms are alleviated by wearing glasses with green-tinted lenses, allowing him to see faces as they really are.
